From The New York City Department of Environmental Protection:
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is celebrating Earth Day by joining with Trout Unlimited and 22 students from the Studio School in New York City to release nearly 50 juvenile brown trout into the Cross River where it passes through the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Westchester County.
As part of the "trout in the classroom" program, students from schools in New York City and the upstate watersheds raise the trout from eggs and will release them into watershed streams over the next two months.
