It is vital that younger generations learn about the environment they live in and why it is important to protect and care for the environment Fish in the class brings together a range of learning activities for primary age children to learn more about wildlife, rivers and in particular brown trout so they understand that their local river is just as important as larger rivers around the world like the Amazon or the Nile. Even the smallest of rivers around the Forth can be a haven for wildlife.

We will deliver our interactive learning experience to schools around the Forth. The learning activity sees the Trust work with schools to give an interactive presentation to the children, introducing them to rivers around the Forth, the Wildlife in them and the pressures they face. We then give them a fish tank where they rear brown trout eggs in the class. Once grown, they are released into the schools local burn where further outdoor learning takes place hopefully fostering stewardship.
