Environmental Education
Watersheds, as defined geographic entities with distinct ecological systems, are the logical starting point for water education. GCWIN's multi-disciplinary educational programs aim to:
-
Facilitate hands-on activities that enable students to interact with their watershed
-
Demonstrate the systems of water management within our community
-
Introduce the opportunities of environmentally-focused careers
-
Reinforce the ethic of scientific inquiry and environmental stewardship
Annual Programs
GCWIN has been able to provide Watershed Week since 2010 for Grand County Middle School Students. GCWIN works alongside teachers to develop a week's worth of interactive activities and field projects that teaches students about their watershed.This program is done both in East & West Grand Schools.
GCWIN has developed several interactive lessons for elementary aged students and currently runs workshops every spring at Point Park Day for 2nd graders as well as every fall at Monarch Lake Education Day for 5th graders.
