About TIC in the White River valley
The Greater Upper Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited (GUVTU) and White River Partnership (WRP) work together to coordinate Trout in the Classroom with interested White River valley schools each year (see White River valley map here).
Trout in the Classroom (TIC) is an environmental education program in which students raise brook trout from eggs before releasing them in a state-approved stream.
The Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) is the lead facilitator of the TIC program in Vermont, coordinating an in-person TIC Annual Workshop and ongoing programmatic support throughout the year.
TIC calendar
The TIC program runs annually from November through June. Key dates include:
- November: VINS leads an in-person training for participants
- December: Teachers and students set-up their TIC aquarium
- January: WRP and GUVTU drop-off 100 brook trout eggs to each TIC aquarium
- January – June: Teachers and students maintain a healthy ecosystem for brook trout
- June: Teachers and students release brook trout at a state-approved stream
Follow this link for the full TIC calendar.
White River valley TIC liaison
The WRP Watershed Scientist Dan ‘rudi’ Ruddell serves as the primary TIC liaison for participating teachers in White River valley schools. Roles include:
- Providing TIC equipment via the WRP Lending Library
- Coordinating purchase and distribution of annual TIC supplies (see more info below)
- Delivering brook trout eggs
- Providing technical support as needed
- Assisting with brook trout release as needed
Please contact Dan ‘rudi’ Ruddell for more information: rudiATwhiteriverpartnership.org
TIC equipment & supplies
The TIC equipment (tank, chiller, filter, etc) will be part of a Lending Library managed by the WRP and can remain at the school as long as the school intends to participate.
We ask that each participating White River valley school commits to providing annual funding support – approximately $100/year – to cover the cost of TIC supplies (see TIC supplies list here).
For returning schools, the WRP will purchase the annual TIC supplies on your behalf and deliver the supplies along with an invoice. Please complete this form by Friday, November 15, 2024 to indicate your interest in this service.
