Brooke Call, center, and Kelsey Giroux watch as John Vallerand of Greene demonstrates how to set an ice fishing trap on the Nezinscot River in Turner on Friday. The 17-year-old seniors at Leavitt Area High School and their classmates from the Exploring River Valley class spent the morning learning about the culture and recreational opportunities along the river. “You live in Maine during the winter. You might as well get outside and enjoy it,” said Vallerand, who set traps and cooked bacon, eggs and muffins for the students outside his ice shack. Leavitt teacher Sharon Hathaway said the Exploring River Valley class is designed so students can gain an appreciation of the natural and agricultural resources in Turner, Leeds and Greene.
