Cotter High School students from Katie Halvorson’s Environmental Science class joined Saint Mary’s students from Dr. Lallaman’s Limnology class on May 2 to survey fish in Gilmore Creek. Students from both schools formed teams to capture fish, count their numbers, and measure their size. More than 50 brown trout were collected, along with three other fish species. This survey is part of an annual spring survey of Gilmore Creek that has been conducted for more than 20 years, but this was the first time students from the local high school teamed up with Saint Mary’s students.
