Cumberland’s Coal Creek Historic Park was the theatre of a full-fledged rescue operation on the afternoon of May 15.

A small stout-hearted troop of children, ages 4 and 5, led by Hand-In-Hand nature instructor Jody Fink, managed to save nearly 300 fish from imminent death.

It all started shortly after 9 a.m. when the cohort headed into the forest for their usual class, explained Fink. As they approached Perseverance Creek, they noticed something worrisome.
