But cameras documented these small fish were squeezing their way between the baffles and the culvert edge rather than swimming over the baffles. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is concerned because the baffles are not working as designed, and because testing was done on a small range of water flows. Fish and Game is asking DOT to conduct another study on the culvert's effectiveness. This new program links our business community with local school children. When a business sponsors a school of its choice, the money goes directly toward teaching kids about the importance of clean water and healthy watersheds.
Students learn about science and stream ecology with the curriculum and supplies sponsors provide.
Activities, hands-on science experiments in the classroom, and field trips to local streams allow the kids to have fun while learning. Businesses will be recognized at the schools, in our newsletter and in other forums. Tax deductions are also available because we are a non-profit organization. But best of all, our business leaders will provide ways for children to learn practical skills and respect for the environment they live in. In addition, you will allow our staff to lead field trips for local schools.
