The most of exciting field trip of the year was in early April. We start at Gate 8 with Clif Read and meet with Jim Legacy and Ken Simmons. We learn about introducing children to fishing, a gateway activity for many other outdoor activities. Each child has the chance to empty buckets with several rainbow trout into the reservoir. At the end the truck shoots the remaining trout into the water to the excitement of all, including an eagle flying overhead! We eat lunch on the lawn by the Visitor's Center at the main gate, and then visit the trout hatchery where children feed the fish in the tanks. We also saw the truck being refilled with fish for another trip to the Quabbin.
