Quidi Vidi Rennies River Development Foundation

The fluvarium is run by the quidi/rennie's river development foundation a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental education and freshwater ecology. Our school programs take students on a field trip the natural world. Students will participate in a journey of discovery in and around the fluvarium to gain a firsthand understanding of plants animals and the ecosystem they live in. Our fish friends program gives children and adults the opportunity to explore the world of the wild atlantic salmon a species that need clean rivers and streams to survive and that migrates hundred of miles or more to sea. Our youth programs focuses on how we affect and can help protect the watersheds we live in. Through age-appropiate activities and visiting our fluvarium animals youth discover how they can become water stewards in their own community. Groups will visit the river pond or marsh outside when the weather is good (and the sun is up!)
