Our 5th and 6th graders are diving into an exciting hands-on study of New Hampshire wildlife through the Trout in the Classroom program, with a special focus on the brook trout, a species of concern in our state. This year, students will monitor and raise trout from eggs to fingerlings while learning about their life cycle, habitat, and the importance of conservation. Their fieldwork will center on Bedell Brook and its watershed within the Bath Town Forest, where they’ll explore local ecosystems and investigate the health of this critical habitat. It’s a unique opportunity for our students to connect with nature and contribute to preserving our state's natural resources! 

Our 3rd and 4th grade students are embarking on an exciting exploration of New Hampshire wildlife habitats in the Bath Town Forest.  Students will choose a species to study in depth, learning about its habitat, behavior, and role in the ecosystem. Animals they may investigate include the barred owl, beaver, deer, bobcat, moose, red and gray squirrels, hairy woodpecker, porcupine, raccoon, and turkey. Through hands-on learning and field observations, students will deepen their understanding of local wildlife and the diverse habitats that make up our natural surroundings. It’s a fun and educational adventure into the world of New Hampshire's native species! 

Our kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders are beginning an exciting journey into the world of wildlife in the Bath Town Forest.

Whether learning about birds, mammals, or woodland creatures, students will explore the forest ecosystem, fostering a sense of wonder and appreciation for the wildlife around them.
