Two Native Fish in the Classroom events hosted by the New Mexico Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office have been held this month, allowing students who have raised and learned about fish as a class project, to release those fish into natural waters here in New Mexico.
The first release took place in Pilar, NM on Saturday May third, and the second release took place on Thursday May eighth near the Bosque School in Albuquerque.
Besides the release, activities and games were held for the students provided by the Service and its partners. Both events were very successful, and the students really enjoyed releasing their fish and getting to spend the day outside.
