Tarsan the National Park Panda goes fishing!

S2 pupils from Vale of Leven Academy were on a field trip to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park to learn more about the Powan, as part of their Powan in the Classroom project being run by the Loch Lomond Fisheries Trust which involves schools incubating Powan eggs in a safe environment in the classrooms and releasing healthy juvenile Powan into Loch Lomond.  The schools therefore contribute to the survival of the Powan population. The pupils were out on site with National Park staff learning more about predator-prey relationships, habitat and threats to this important species. They brought Tarsan, the National Park Panda along with them to investigate the invertebrates found in Luss Water.
