Fish Friends:
HRAA puts salmon-rearing aquariums into local classrooms. Students receive salmon eggs in the winter and release baby fish in the spring. This excellent program is run jointly by HRAA and the Atlantic Salmon Federation. Contact the HRAA to get your class involved.

 

 

Project WET Training:
Sponsored by EcoAction and the NB Environmental Trust Fund
HRAA staff is trained to deliver workshops on the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide. These workshops are for all educators involved in formal or non-formal settings and interested in environment or water resources. In a 6 hour workshop, the facilitator highlights the use and effectiveness of the Project WET guide. The workshop includes a copy of the guide.

 

This week long day camp instructs kids (7-12 years old) on many topics such as: Kayak skills and safety, Angling, Fly fishing, Fly Tying, Animal Identification, and Wetland Conservation though hands on experiances. More information and pictures from past camps can be found on our Kids-R-Cool Camp Page.

More information will be be provided soon on this website. You can contact the HRAA for more information or to reserve your spot; Field trips occur in both the Spring and Fall of each year.
