Trout in the Classroom November E-Newsletter

[Alexander, Nicole]

Dear TIC teachers, educators, and friends,

 

I hope you, your students, and your trout find yourselves happy and healthy as we approach the holiday season! Please see attached our November newsletter, which has important tips for trout care during the upcoming break. I want to flag a few highlights of this newsletter:

 

1. Catskill Watershed Corporation’s Watershed Education Grant application is now open! Apply by Friday, February 7, 2024 to receive up to $10,000 in funding for your TIC equipment and transportation for the 2025-26 school year. Contact Samantha Costa with any questions.
2. Watershed Agricultural Council’s Watershed Forestry Field Trip Program grant application is due on Friday, January 10, 2025. This grant helps cover the cost of transportation for trout release field trips and includes additional programming. Find out more on their website, and contact Tyler Van Fleet with any questions.
3. New York is in a drought! NYC DEP’s Education Office has developed a Water Conservation Resources Packet to help introduce water conservation to your students. For helpful water saving tips, please visit nyc.gov/savewater.

 

As always, please reach out anytime with questions, comments, or concerns.

 

All the best,

Nicki
