South Slope Fry Release
Yumi and I helped grade 1 and 2 students from South Slope Elementary release chum fry into Byrne Creek this afternoon.
The kids and their teacher, Gary Thompson, raised the baby salmon from eggs in the DFO "Salmon in the Classroom" program. It was our second release with Gary, and we had a great time again.
Thanks to all the parents who drove and herded the kids :-).
Here I am giving them a short talk about the salmon lifecycle, and when their tiny fry might come back to Byrne Creek to have their own babies.
