Support Watershed Education
Our watershed education program connects local students to the natural world by getting them out of the classroom and into the field. Through hands-on science, art, writing, music, and active stewardship projects, the students we work with develop a sense of place and a connection to our home watershed. We are dedicated to continue delivering high quality hands-on watershed education programs for students of all ages. Thanks to many local partners, program supporters, and individual donors, we provide meaningful place-based education opportunities for thousands of students each year.  

Join us and help ensure that all children have the opportunity to learn outside. Click here to make a donation today.
