We were so lucky today! We got to explore the Seymour River Salmon Hatchery. We impressed the staff with our salmon knowledge, and we left with even more!
At Hurry Creek, students gathered sediment and collected water samples to look for invertebrates, a very important part of the food chain.
We spooned samples into little petri dishes to look at under microscopes.
What IS that?!
Kate helped us identify different species...
... and demonstrated how they gather the eggs from spawning salmon.
Other fun photos:
That is actually a branch making that C shape.

Back to Hurry Creek now for some stream surveying. Are conditions here suitable for growing salmon?

Rainy on the outside, but sunny on the inside!
Keep your eyes and ears peeled for their Open House. It’s well worth the trip
