We had such a wonderful day Tuesday on our field trip to The Pisgah Wildlife Center and Fish Hatchery in Brevard! We had beautiful weather to match our awesome experience!
We started our day with a hike guided by one of the Park Rangers! He led us around showing us different types of plants and areas for Animal Habitats!
We crossed creeks and bridges on our hike (and even spotted a small baby snake!!!)
Our Park Ranger Guide was amazing with his knowledge of the plants and trees as well as how patient he was with our very excited group of Kindergartners!
After our hike we ate lunch picnic-style before going to check out the trout in the huge water tanks!
So many fish in one place!
So fun to watch them swim and splash!
Then we headed inside a classroom area to learn all about trout and their life cycles, including which type of trout is most common in our rivers (the brook trout)!
Checking out trout eggs and the different stages of their development until they are baby trout.
After learning all about trout, we went out and played a game where the students acted like they were trout up against all the predators and conditions that might cause harm throughout their lifetime.
To finish up the day we headed back to the trout farms to feed the fish! This was probably one of our class' favorite parts of the day!
We can't thank the amazing Park Rangers enough for their kind words and helpful information about trout and the Wildlife Center as a whole!
Truly a great day for all! Our last field trip for the year is coming up next week when we walk to Weaver Park. We will be leaving Claxton around 10 to walk to Weaver Park! We would love to have you join us, if you are free and able that day!
