I have been doing some research as part of the Autumn Series of Outdoor Hour Challenges. I want to share an idea for a fall field trip that many of you may wish to incorporate into your homeschooling schedule in the next few months. A visit to your nearest fish hatchery is a wonderful opportunity to view fish up close.
Some states have annual fishing events at hatcheries for children. The best way I can tell you to find out if you have anything local is to do a Google Search with the words "fish hatchery YOUR STATE'S NAME". For example: fish hatchery California. I did this with several state's names inserted and came up with some wonderful events happening soon.
I wanted to give you a heads-up so you won't miss these opportunities and then learn a little bit more about some fish in the future with the Outdoor Hour Challenges. (Yes, we will be focusing on trout and salmon as part of one of the challenges in the coming months.)
Also fish related....sort of:
