Dear TIC teachers, educators, and friends,
Happy trout release season and Earth Month! All trout release permits that were already submitted have been approved. Please remember that you must have a permit from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to release fish into any body of water.
In this newsletter we have some helpful tips for trout releases, and with Spring Break next week for most, guidance for trout care. As you prepare for trout releases, please make sure that your students are able to identify possible risks, including poison ivy and ticks.
Chag Sameach/Happy Easter/Ramadan Mubarak to those who celebrate!
