VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR NDOW’S ‘TROUT IN THE CLASROOM’ PROGRAM
Volunteers are needed by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) to assist Las Vegas area teachers in maintaining fish tanks that are used in the agency’s Trout in the Classroom program.
Ivy Santee, NDOW conservation educator, said 30 participating schools will be provided with 10-gallon aquariums and 200 rainbow trout eggs for the program. Live trout will then be produced in the classrooms and will stay in the aquariums for several weeks before being released into area lakes and ponds.
“Tank buddies help teachers to maintain the aquariums and are available to answer questions about any problems that may arise,” Santee said.
A training session for tank buddies will be held on Jan. 8. For information about the program, contact Santee at (702) 486-5127, ext. 3503.
