The Council firmly believes that fostering watershed education in tomorrow’s leaders is essential in creating a community that values and stewards our natural resources. We work with teachers and administrators in local schools to conduct youth watershed education programs at the elementary and high school levels. Our Youth Education Program serves over 1500 students annually.
