Fish Rearing on the Agenda in Bolton Schools

The Environment Agency is looking for three primary schools in Bolton to take part in the 'free Trout in the Classroom' project. Trout in the Classroom gives pupils the opportunity to learn about life-cycles, food chains, habitat and conservation as they rear fish from eggs to young fish in specially designed tanks within the school.

Nicki Rushton, Environment Agency Fisheries Team Leader, said: “Once the young fish are big enough to survive in the wild Environment Agency officers will help the schools release them back into Eagley Brook. “These new young fish will help support our major restocking programme of the brook after a pollution incident killed nearly 10,000 brown trout just over a year ago.”

Interested schools should call Nicki Rushton on 01925 543536 or email nicki.rushton@environment-agency.gov.uk for more information or to register your school.
