🎣 Happy National Fishing Day! This is a great time to talk about trout! 🐟

Did you know our trout story starts in a classroom? Through our Trout in the Classroom program, Berks County students raised trout from egg to fingerling and released them into a local stream. 🌊

A few fun facts to share on your next fishing trip:

🐟 The brook trout is PA's only native trout (and our state fish!)
🌡️ They need cold, clean water to survive
🔬 Spot one and you've found a healthy stream
🏞️ PA has nearly 16,000 miles of wild trout streams

Clean water makes the catch possible. Happy fishing! 💚

Maybe you started composting, switched to a reusable water bottle, or cut back on meat. Every action counts, no matter how small. Drop it in the comments below 👇

🐝 Did you know June is National Pollinator Month?

Pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds are responsible for 75% of the world's food supply. Without them, staples like coffee, chocolate, and berries simply would not exist. 😱

The good news? Supporting pollinators can start right in your own backyard:

🌻 Grow native, pollinator-friendly plants
🚫 Avoid the use of pesticides
🐦 Set out a birdbath or birdhouse

💬 How are you helping pollinators at home? We'd love to hear, or see, what you're doing in the comments below!
