 MENOMONIE, Wis. - A fish tank at Menomonie High School means a multitude of
educational opportunities across the curriculum as well as a chance for
students to learn about conservation.The Wisconsin Clear Waters chapter of Trout Unlimited received grant money from Fairmount Santrol and TicketPrinting.com totaling about $1,750 to help purchase a 75-gallon tank, chiller, filtration system, water testing equipment and eggs for science teacher Nathan McMahon's classroom. The eggs are from Seven Pines Hatchery in Frederic. By studying trout, students will learn about life cycles, maintaining proper habitat and how to care for the trout from the egg stage on.... Ken Notes: The Driftless area trout streams are an underutilized natural resource in Wisconsin. I have long been an advocate for ecotourism and using our natural resources to attract tourists and create jobs in the state. | ||
