Through the Trout in the Classroom program, students raise trout in aquariums, assess the habitat conditions, and release them in Stony Brook.

A beautiful trout stream cannot be allowed to merely slip away to history;  it must be preserved for future generations.  I have been privileged to work with many who believe this to be true and demonstrated their work on Stony Brook.  Our team consisted of the students and educators of Chilton Public Schools, Calumet County landowners, Fox Valley chapter of Trout Unlimited, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Calumet County, The Fund for Lake Michigan, the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance, and the Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership

At the October 15th fall trout plant in Stony Brook, the WDNR fish biologist Angelo Cazzola demonstrated electro shocking for the TIC students at Chilton schools.  Angelo stated that trout measured and recorded have survived 4 years and are naturally reproducing in Stony Book. The Students enjoyed this news and the day, while receiving fly-casting instructions by Dennis Johnson, and demos of WAV Stream Monitoring procedures by WAV monitors who are members of the Friends of Stony Brook and Central Wisconsin TU’s “Riverkeepers”.
