The outdoor classrooms range from trails that peacefully wind through the wilderness to full-blown outdoor science laboratories, complete with weather stations. Can Make A Difference video, teacher resource guides, activity books, and other educational resources. These materials were distributed to over 450 schools throughout our region. The curriculum was designed to educate young people about the importance of keeping our environment clean and features J. Waterford, an environmentally literate frog, Daniel Boone, and Lily, a young person in need of J. Waterford's expertise. These materials are available free of charge to all of the schools in our region.
Students sample a stream.
Our latest initiative is Project Clean Streams. The program was designed to get students outside for a first-hand look at the condition of local streams. Our goal was to include 100 schools in the project. Students and teachers could submit their field reports online and immediately compare their results with other schools on the Internet. Next year, we plan for the project to be even bigger and better.
