Building Water Literacy in Southeast Wisconsin
The WATERshed Program uses advanced knowledge and understanding of environmental issues, principles, and stewardship through innovative communications in a place-based learning environment. This project focuses on the importance of living in a coastal community with freshwater resources.
Learners become water scientists
Through hands-on activities, learners discover what’s going down storm drains and how it travels to rivers and lakes from their neighborhoods. Students conduct scientific tests to determine water quality and explore diverse ecosystems in Southeast Wisconsin.
