| The white suckers have returned to the ravines to make their nests and spawn! Suckers are a native Lake Michigan species that always return to their natal stream, where they were born, in order to spawn later in life. |
 |
| We were very lucky to have Janette Marsh, a watershed expert with the US EPA, share her knowledge and experiences with us. |
 |
| The students released the rainbow trout they have raised in their classrooms. We hope that the fish will return to our ravines in a few years to spawn, and if they do this is a great indication that the stream is a healthy habitat. They participated in a program called Trout in the Classroom, led by Trout Unlimited. |
 |
| Bye, bye fish! |
 |
| Students got a chance to put on waders and try out a Secchi Disk to test turbidity in Lake Michigan. |
Thanks to everyone who came and participated in another great day at the ravines!
