The eggs are hatching!!!

The trout eggs that were delivered over a month ago have started to hatch. Local students have been doing a great job keeping the water cold and clean for the eggs as they develop into alevin. The classes at King Middle School are making watercolor paintings to record the changes.

This amazing unit is funded by the City of Portland through the Greener Neighborhoods Cleaner Streams program and taught by the Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District.

Thank you to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife for providing the brook trout eggs to our classrooms!
