Students Learn Gristmill's Role in History and Conservation

10/15/2009


Classes from Windham Middle School visited the Gurleyville Gristmill recently, learning not only about the historic use of the mill as a center of agricultural activity, but also its present role in conservation.

The field trip was jointly funded by Trout Unlimited, sponsors of a classroom program in which students hatch trout eggs, nurture them, and then release them in a local stream. Students learned to identify aquatic insects whose presence reveal water quality. The Trust’s contribution to the field trip came from a grant from a 1772 Foundation grant.
