ANOTHER TEAM WILL BE NEEDED ON THURSDAY APRIL 6TH TO ASSIST WITH THE FRY DELIVERY. ETA TO BE CONFIRMED CLOSER TO THE DATE.

FOLLOWING THAT, 5 TO 6 INDIVIDUALS WILL FORM A TEAM TO NURTURE THE FRY FOR 4 WEEKS. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE PENS IN THE MORNING ANYTIME BEFORE 9:00 AM.

PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING.

We now have a team of volunteers to nurture the Chinook fry. After 2 weeks I will provide an update on the project with some comparisons to previous years. I'm looking forward to another successful year!
