For the final day of Stark's Summer program the students met up with Mr. Curtis at the Berlin Fish Hatchery. There they learned about the life cycle of young trout from the fertilization of of the eggs until they are large enough to be released a year later. The fish hatchery staff showed studens how they protect their growing fish from predators like eagles, osprey, and even blue herons. The kids even got the chance to feed the fish. The Hatchery staff stay pretty busy, so if you see the fish trucks on the road in April - July, give them a wave, find your fishing pole and dig up some worms!

Stark's summer school program took a few hours to explore the ecosystem in South Pond with the help of AMC. Students scooped mud to find and identify living organisms. They even found a mayfly nymph which is only able to survive in unpoluted bodies of water! Many of the students previously thought that Christine Lake was the deepest and coldest waterbody in Stark. However, South Pond has a spot that is 95' deep and both bodies of water are able to support and sustain cold water loving fish like trout!
