On Monday, the 5^th of 2008 Stratford’s biology class with their advisers Mr. Rumball and Mr. Hoyt went to Nash Stream, just outside of the town Groveton. They were there for a program to help stock salmon in Connecticut River system tributary called Nash Stream. This program was done between the Stratford students, the Federal department of fishers, and the New Hampshire Fish and Game. This was to study the river system to determine if they can still support a population of the Atlantic Salmon. The biology class with about 21 kids, were separated in groups of 2 and were given a bucket containing 100s of Salmon. Each group were dropped off about 2/10 of a mile along the river and were to spread these salmon along the river banks. The theory behind this is that one day these salmon will make their way to the Atlantic Ocean and live. Then when they’re ready to lay their eggs they’ll come back to the Nash Stream river and lay them exactly were the students stocked them. Overall the day was fun; beginning with an environmental scavenger hunt and ending the day around 1pm.
