For 13 years and counting, Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources has hosted fourth graders every spring and fall to teach them more about the lake they live so close to.
The classes came to the lake Tuesday from Alpine School District schools in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain.
Students are taught by the Coast Guard how to put on different types of life jackets in order to keep themselves safe in the water. The activity was part of a fourth grade field trip on the shore of Utah Lake in Saratoga Springs on Tuesday. While some students were sifting sand to find special rocks, others were climbing an amphibious lawn mower that cuts down invasive species of weeds. They held a jar of June sucker larvae and were shown where Utah Lake came from — Lake Bonneville.
