It’s back to school–and TU’s program, Trout in the Classroom, is part of the curriculum in hundreds of schools around the country. The program helps children learn about trout and conservation by raising trout in aquariums.

John is the past president of the Croton Watershed TU chapter and directs the Trout in the Classroom program in Westchester County, New York.
