Benjamin Logan Environmental Science Club Hosts "Go Fish!" Event with Guest Speaker from Jones Lake Management

The Benjamin Logan Environmental Science Club dove into the world of aquatic ecosystems with a hands-on "Go Fish!" event, featuring Alex Roth from Jones Lake Management in Cincinnati. This interactive session, held Wednesday evening, focused on fish species, their habitats, and the fundamentals of lake and pond watershed management.
​

During the event, Roth explained key concepts in water quality, the impact of fish habitats, and the importance of managing vegetation and algal blooms to create a balanced ecosystem. Students participated in a collaborative activity, forming small groups to design and present their own unique fish species based on assigned characteristics such as body size, mouth type, and reproductive traits.

These educational after-school programs are organized by Benjamin Logan teachers Bruce Smith, Spencer Reames, and Ryan Kerns, with additional support from Bob Stoll of the Logan County Land Trust.
