ESCTU and Trout in the Classroom


ESCTU is a proud and active participant in New Jersey's successful and growing Trout in the Classroom program (TIC for short).  In 2007, our chapter purchased TIC equipment for New Egypt High School, the first school we sponsored outright.  Our chapter will purchase an additional TIC set-up for the East Amwell School in Hunterdon County for the fall 2008 school year.  ESCTU also provides technical and logistical support to existing TIC programs at the L.V Moore Middle School in Roselle NJ, as well as Allentown High School in Allentown, NJ. 

ESCTU believes that educating our youth on the importance of cold water conservation is critical to preserving our states watersheds as well as the heritage of trout fishing in the Garden State for future generations.
