Official state fish on display
The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum in Cornwall will hold its annual Trout Weekend from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3. The focus of the event is the official state fish, the brook trout. “Brook trout survive in only the coldest and cleanest waters and can serve as environmental indicators,” explained Emily Nestlerode, manager of the museum’s Wildlife Education Center.
Activities will include “Meet the Brook Trout” at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. each day, with feeding times at 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., as well as crafts and stories. Admission is $3 (museum members and children age 3 and younger are free). For more information visit hhnm.org or call 845-534-5506, ext. 204. The Wildlife Education Center is located at 25 Boulevard.
