The conservation education class was started by Matt Rieger which consisted of him sitting in front of a class with a HD camera focused on his work bench which had tools to attach different material to hooks to create lures for different fish species. The camera was hooked up to different TV screens throughout the class room. Now Alisa Davis a former student now teaches this same class.
