On the web Teachers and students will find information about Delaware's natural resources, teaching materials, educational programs and acitivities. For more information, contact the Office of Information and Education at 739-4506. This newsletter, published three times each year, is a guide to environmental education resources available in Delaware and nationally. The publication is distributed to all public school teachers in the state. Technical programs are currently being conducted on several Delaware Waterways.
Volunteers range from high school students to retired chemists.
Initial training and follow-up sessions insure quality control in sampling procedures. Our Wildlife Area Stewardship programs will offer students, Youth groups, and adults training on how to lend a helping hand towards natural habitats and the importance of wildlife in Delaware. These programs are a great way to involve students and youth group members in outdoor, hands on activities that are educational and beneficial to our environment. This program, operated in conjunction with the Delaware Nature Society, trains volunteers to assess water quality in ponds, rivers and streams around the state using basic water testing kits, visual and biological surveys. This one-day event, held each fall, teaches participants the problems caused by litter in aquatic environments.
