We are in the process of forming our county's first watershed organization! This has been an evolving process that began almost 3 years ago when I was approached by a parent of former students to become involved in local water conservation efforts. These students collaborated in creating the logo for our organization! Makes me smile every time I see it.
We have had tremendous support through the Juniata Conservation District guiding us through the process providing direction and purpose to our cause. This year we will release our trout at Sis and Brent Robinson's residence in the Lost Creek and hold the other release activities at the Lost Creek Golf Course to highlight our local conservation efforts through our newly formed watershed group!
It is my desire to connect our Trout in the Classroom Program with real life conservation efforts in our community! We share our release with the Juniata High School's TIC Program to allow the older students an opportunity to connect with our younger students around a common goal. Counting the days until our release...and praying everything continues to go well! Take a peek at our Brook Trout!
