Eggs to Fry in the Classroom

A closer look at salmon eggs

Eggs to Fry in the Classroom program facilitates classrooms in the Chico Unified School District to raise anadromous fish, salmon or steelhead, which become the connection between the classroom to the creek environment. They learn how fish are dependent upon a healthy ecosystem and how the creeks in their local community need to be cared for and protected to continually provide suitable fish habitat. Eggs are donated by the Feather River Hatchery and the aquariums are donated and maintained by the Chico Area Flyfisher Association.
