The Massachusetts Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, Richard Sullivan spoke with third and fourth graders at the Chester Elementary School about environmental stewardship and the importance of wildlife and a healthy river..
The elementary school in Chester, one of the hill towns between the Connecticut River valley and the Berkshires, is one of roughly 30 schools that participate in the annual stocking effort to replenish Atlantic Salmon in the Connecticut River watershed.
The kids hiked down a short path through the woods in back of their school to the west bank of the Westfield River. There officials distributed tiny plastic cups, containing tiny Salmon fry, and the children put the young salmon , only about an inch or two long, in the river and watched as they swam away.
