Yesterday current and past members of SIU AFS volunteered at the 2nd annual Eco Family Fest!

[Tanya Fendler @SciFendler]

Yesterday, I volunteered at the Eco Family Fest at Alto Winery. We taught kids about local fish species while they made fish prints and had their face painted. It was non-stop for the entire duration of the event! Hopefully we helped create some future fisheries professionals.

What should you do? Stay back and report sick seals. People and their pets should avoid all contact with sick or dead wildlife. HPAI is a “zoonotic disease” that has the potential to spread between animals and people and their pets. https://t.co/LOsqIHR2tt
