| Trout in
the Classroom
 |
Now in our 2nd year, Oak
Brook TU is supporting the TIC programs at St. Patricia School in Hickory Hills,
Roosevelt School in River Forest, Ideal School in
Countryside, and Spring School in La Grange, Illinois for
the 2009-2010 school year. This
program teaches trout biology, water quality, and ecosystem
connectivity while students raise trout from eggs to
fingerlings and release them into a regional trout stream in
the spring. The chapter
plans to establish a program in one additional school each
year. For information on how your school can become
part of this program, contact Marvin Strauch at
membership@ (obtu.org) for more information on the Oak Brook TU
program.
