Sixty-three juvenile white sturgeon will be released into the Nechako River during an event next month in Vanderhoof.
Roughly 800 elementary school children from across the Nechako area will attend Riverside Park for the June 6th release.
Each student will also get the opportunity to release a salmon fry courtesy of the Spruce City Wildlife Association.
In addition, ten educational booths hosted by organizations such as Rio Tinto, Carrier Sekani Tribal Council and UNBC among others are expected to be on site.
