We identify the fish likely to be found at our field trip location, both native and non-native, and brain storm to draw a food chain that includes those fish.</li></ul>There is no charge for the program. Geographic areas are scheduled together ie Shiprock area once a year, Clayton once a year and so on. Groups must pay all their own costs such as transport, food, entry fees, fishing licenses. Program provides all science and fishing gear.<br /><br />Groups as small as fifteen or as large as two classes (for instance 60 youth and 12 adults) can be accommodated. We do not do childcare, all groups must be organized. Teachers or other group leaders may not leave the activity at any time. Parent/adult volunteers are required.Ti Piperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13170999815876804301noreply@blogger.com0
