Tay Rivers Trust Fundraising – Education

Salmon in the Classroom is a popular project but has been constrained by having people to deliver the project and the cost of bus hire.

The Tay Rivers Trust are aiming to raise funds through fundraising to add to those resources obtained through the Tay proprietors annual levy. 

Please support us and help save wild Atlantic salmon

From the Summerhill Hatchery we provide eyed salmon eggs to each school. These are placed in fish tanks held in chiller cabinets. This enables the children to watch daily the hatching of the eggs and development of the baby fish, which are then returned to a local river. Fish are not the only topics covered during such field trips. Kick samples of aquatic life are taken and the youngsters are invited to count and identify them using simple keys.
