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 has since followed up by purchasing TIC equipment for the East Amwell School in Hunterdon County and the Princeton Child Development Institute for autistic children in Hopewell. As of 2012, ESCTU also provides technical and logistical support for nine TIC aquariums operating eight schools throughout central New Jersey. 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.
