In Closing
It’s pretty neat to think of the familiar Ashiya River becoming an outdoor classroom, isn’t it? Opportunities to search for living creatures together with members of the Nada Junior and Senior High School Biology Club don’t come along very often. Be sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and you’re welcome to bring your own net. Participation is limited to the first 30 applicants, so if you’re interested, sign up soon.
