Trenches? What "trenches?"

Conservation in this day and age is tough. I use the war metaphor at times, but that's pretty obviously over the top. Sometimes the "trenches" of conservation are found in places like middle school classrooms.

I'm proud to work with Jake Duplessie in my local TU chapter. He runs our Trout in the Classroom Project which is a huge success.

Jake got a little recognition for his hard work. Well-deserved recognition for a man who, year after year, organizes meetings, teachers, biologists, fish eggs and much more to ensure that the next generation has a chance at understanding the wonders of piscatorial life.

This is what happens when stop talking and start doing. Nice work, Jake.
