Fish Hotel: Children's Picture Book Reading
Listen to Fish Hotel, a children's book about Tessa and her cousin Hugo who go on an underwater adventure learning that trees in the water are helpful to fish. A friendly neighbor teaches them how downed trees are like a fish hotel, providing shelter, food and a place to lay their eggs. When the kids find out Uncle Henry is going to remove a downed tree from the water, they make the case to keep it in the lake as a fish hotel.

Impervious Surfaces: PowerPoint Presentation
Explains how runoff from impervious (hard) surfaces lead to decreased fish populations in lakes and streams. For example, more nutrients from runoff result in less oxygen in the water; more sediments cover spawning beds of fish; and warmer water can eliminate cold water fish like trout, northern pike and walleye.
