Constructed in 1938 on the site of a private fish hatchery, Vancouver Trout Hatchery was considered state of the art at the time of completion. The hatchery has been releasing trout into Clark County lakes and streams ever since. Scheduled for closure in the mid 1990's a cooperative agreement was signed by Clark Public Utilities and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in 1996. In 2000 a non-profit partnership was formed that now includes, Clark college, Evergreen Public School District, City of Vancouver, Clark County as well as Clark public Utilities and WDFW. The partnership and hatchery grounds were given the name Columbia Springs Environmental Education Center.
