9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

What is a fish, and what fishes do we have in Illinois? Explore the different types of fishes we have here in Illinois with a focus on game fishes and fisheries management at the Jake Wolf Memorial State Fish Hatchery. Learn about fish biology, habitats, and adaptations as we delve into the wet world they live in. We will explore fishes up close and personal by going on a behind-the-scenes tour at the hatchery. Supplemental classroom resources will be provided. Professional Development Hours are available. Sponsored by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, this workshop is part of the ENTICE (Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education) program.
