Our education programs are centered around the idea of “Science Through Fishing.” When we aren’t running guided fishing trips and classes all across the region, we partner/contract with many different parks departments and schools. We offer engaging, hands-on programming, using fishing and birding as activities for teaching watershed science and biology. Our wide array of programs highlight the importance of healthy watersheds and take a deep dive into Minnesota’s aquatic ecology.
