Idaho Salmon and Steelhead Days this Week

Idaho Salmon and Steelhead Days will educate hundreds of Treasure Valley fifth graders this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the 3rd through the 5th. The event is held every September at the MK Nature Center. The three day celebration of native Idaho fish species and their habitats is a hands-on learning experience designed to increase appreciation and awareness of the biology, ecology, economic significance and cultural importance of Idaho's anadromous fish. 1500-2000 students visit the MK Nature center each year during Idaho Salmon and Steelhead days. The Nature Center receives many requests from schools who want their fifth graders to attend. Because of the high interest, managers carefully invite schools on a rotating basis.
