Salmon Hatchery


Jack's grade has been taking care of some Salmon eggs/fry. It was time for them to be released, so over spring break we took them to the hatchery. They will stay there until they are strong enough to survive in the wild and will be released into the river.
It was a wonderful family day; a personal field trip. The men (volunteers) there are so passionate about their work, that they can't help but show it off.
