This past Tuesday we met for a third time with HPHS Environmental Science students. We discussed what makes a suitable habitat for fish in ravines and how restoration efforts work to encourage fish to spawn in the streams. Thanks for a great day! Our next session in May we will be studying macroinvertebrates.

White suckers hanging in the stream; they come every year to spawn and create redds, or nests, and lay their eggs

 

Matt Jennings of Trout Unlimited explains which types of rocks and their placement are ideal for fish spawning
