In May the wildlife club students took a trip out to the state of Delaware where they primitive camped for 5 days at Blackbird State Forest. While we were out there the students got to visit the Delaware State University and Delaware University Aquaculture Facilities. As well as meet with the Delaware Division of Wildlife Fisheries Unit to see the American Shad hatchery and their shocking equipment used for fish management. The students also visited the slaughter beach where they got see a variety of species both washed on shore but living along the beach. They visited Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge for an amazing birding experience and Cape Henlopen State Park where they got to see dolphins and many birds and plants we don’t get to see in Ohio. It was a great experience for the students and enjoy the pictures below from the trip.
