Teachers, Remember the Trunk!
August 2001
by Sea Grant Staff
The school year is approaching once again, and we'd like to remind teachers, especially middle school teachers, that we have the Exotic Aquatics Traveling Trunk available for rental. The trunk's fascinating treasures will help you instruct your students about the threats posed by aquatic exotic species, such as zebra mussels, purple loosestrife, and Eurasian ruffe. The award-winning trunk is full of posters, books, preserved specimens, and a 20-minute videotape. The price, if you pick the trunk up from our Duluth office, is $15. Otherwise it's $35.
To reserve the Exotic Aquatics Traveling Trunk, contact Doug Jensen at Sea Grant: (218) 726-8712, Jane Greenberg at the Bell Museum of Natural History: (612) 626-2299, or Andrew Webster at the Great Lakes Aquarium: (218) 740-3474. Or order our informational brochure about the trunk from the products order form (item X 38).
