We’re well on our way, learning facts about the Presumpscot and its history. Recently Sarah Plummer, from the Cumberland County Soil and Water Conservation District, came to talk to students about a particular anadromous fish, the Atlantic Salmon. We were amazed to learn that while a salmon lays 8,000 eggs at a time, only one or two of those eggs survive to adulthood and return to their place of origin to spawn.
We played a game called “Smell Your Way Home;” salmon use their sense of smell to locate their home waters, so we tried to do the same…with limited success!
