The brookies are here!

In the last two weeks, Cumberland County Soil and Water Conservation District and Portland Water District delivered 6,900 brook trout eggs to 23 classrooms in 14 different schools! These eggs will be raised in the classrooms and released as fry into various streams, brooks, rivers, and ponds throughout Cumberland and York counties.

This amazing program is funded by the Interlocal Stormwater Working Group, Portland Water District, and supported by Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District.

Thank you to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife for providing the brook trout eggs to our classrooms!
