Trout in The Classroom ~ Trout Unlimited ~ Master Site

Trout in the Classroom programs have been in place all across the country for more than 20 years. The program was designed specifically for teachers who want to incorporate more environmental education into their curriculum and need outside help.

It gives TroutUnlimited members the opportunity to get involved with their local schools, while teaching children about water quality, aquatic life, and other environmental issues.

Focus On Trout in the Classroom: 1. Tank Setup, Trout Care, Timeline, and Feeding Instructions. 2. Class Field Trip with Naturalist to Stream or Lake with Environmental Health and Safety Assessment. 3. Coldwater Conservation Education Guide.

The Program is open to classrooms of all ages of learners requiring the care and sincerity of the teacher, the mentors, and the students, to assure the program is successful.
