One-Day Workshop
The one-day workshops places emphasis on your particular watershed and its needs. The program provides a basic study of your watershed as well as hands-on training in chemical and biological parameters important to a healthy stream. A field trip to a local stream is usually recommended as part of the workshop if a stream is available. This allows for use of the lessons learned in the classroom.
These workshops are free but we do request you try to have at least 8 participants.
The Workshop Will:
- Increase awareness of nonpoint source pollution
- Introduce surveying and mapping of your watershed
- Increase watershed protection awareness and possible actions that can be taken to help your watershed. It Begins at Home is a new program with ideas about projects such as;
- Storm Drain Marking
- Stream Clean-ups
- Recycling
- Advocacy and More
Who Should Participate?
Educators, environmental educators, Envirothon Team Advisors, Scout troop leaders, watershed team leaders, land managers, advocacy groups, concerned citizens and others. These workshops can be requested on their own or inserted into other multi-day workshops. The workshop usually takes about 5-6 hours but can be extended or shortened as needed. The workshop can be tailored to your group’s needs. All materials are included for the workshop.
