The Great Rivers Field Station staff had the pleasure of sharing what we do and why to the next generation of possible scientist . Alton High School students enrolled in the Summer Watershed Academy with Mr. Pettus had a great time holding fish , turtles and learning about our ecosystem and waterways. We were even lucky enough to catch a Paddlefish for them to see. It was a lot of these kids first time holding a fish and they jumped right in !
