Return to Story IndexTROUT IN CLASSROOM
EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY TELLS US MORE ABOUT THE TROUT IN THE CLASSROOM PROGRAM IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE. Amanda Craig's school is here after a nearly year long committement to raising a bunch of fingerlings ready to be released today. That's a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun, especially today when these little guys get to go free, and their little managers get to feel like proud parents watching their little ones leave the nest. They learned a lot this year. That's some good stuff, you can tell these kids are committed to their trout. They have been since the very beginning. That's the beginning of wildlife management, and maybe one day one of these bright kids will make a profession out of working with animals. For WVWL, PM EWN IF YOU'D LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TROUT IN THE CLASSROOM PROGRAM, GO TO OUR WEBSITE OR SHOOT PATRICK AN EMAIL DIRECTLY
