Shad School Program to Release Thousands of American Shad

On Tuesday, May 16, the Shad School will be releasing several thousand American shad into Deer Creek. The shad were raised in classrooms in six area schools for the past two weeks. The program’s culminating event will begin at 11:00 a.m. at the Hills Grove Picnic Area at Rocks State Park in Jarrettsville. The program, which is co-sponsored by DNR and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission, teaches children about the history and cultural significance of American shad through hands-on activities, field trips and aquaculture. Students learn about the shad life cycle and physiology in addition to handling other fish species, collecting data with DNR biologists, removing scales and otoliths for age analysis, and touring the Conowingo Dam fish passage structures.
