FISH VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Adult volunteers are needed to teach children 6 to 13 years old about fish and fishing in communities stretching from Logan to Salem. Volunteers will be helping the Division of Wildlife Resources and the communities with their community fishing programs.

Youth fishing clubs have been established in Logan, Brigham City, Ogden, Roy, Syracuse, Clinton, Clearfield, Farmington, Bountiful, Murray, South Jordan, Orem, Spanish Fork and Salem in 2006. Each club needs volunteers to help.

Volunteer training will be held in each community in February. The training takes about one evening to complete. The clubs, with 40 to 80 children, will be formed by April and will meet for about eight weeks.

To volunteer or for more information, call Andrew Cushing, community fisheries biologist for the DWR, at 538-4774 or send an e-mail to andrewcushing@utah.gov.

LITHICS ID WORKSHOP

Ever find an arrowhead and wonder how old it is, how it was made or who made it?

Don Irwin, a USDA Forest Service archeologist, will teach the class. The workshop will be held at Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum in Blanding.
