  • Current Environmental Issues

In-School Programs

Available Grades K-12

  • Farm to Fork — Discover how farms relate to the food on our table. Younger students will enjoy the felt board and story; older students will be challenged by a choose-your-own-path cooperative group activity.
  • EnviroScape — This hands-on EnviroScape model of a watershed allows students to witness the effects of pollution in a watershed. Students will discuss types of pollution and explore possible solutions.
  • Ins and Outs of Water — Students will explore where their school water originates, test its quality, and explore where it goes after it disappears down the drain. (Suggested for Middle/High School students)
