How great is this?!?!

Update: At this time both the waitlist and class are at capacity. We will advise if openings become available!

Today our Division and Yarmouth Recreation held our first ever Kids Learn to Clam and Crab Class. We can’t thank everyone enough for coming and are excited to watch this program grow. We could not believe the amount of interest in this program and are set to hold a second class August 14th 2025. There is an open waiting list for this class and if you are interested we highly suggest you get on it. We had some last minute drop outs and were able to get in touch with some waitlisted applicants who were able to attend!

We had high hopes this class would spark curiosity and a lasting interest in our local fishery. Based on the number of kids and parents asking how to obtain shellfishing permits we feel this was accomplished. The future of Yarmouth is bright and full of young environmental stewards in the making, with a focus on protecting and sustaining our local fisheries.
