The Advanced Wonders of Watersheds-Creating a Climate of Hope

This summer’s educator workshop will take an in-depth look at freshwater studies with a special focus on empowering students with knowledge & hope in our changing climate. Through outdoor investigations, activities, field exploration, and curriculum resources, teachers will learn about natural resource and climate change challenges, impacts, and behavioral solutions such as composting. With assistance from a Go Green Community Grant through the Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District, we will dig into how backyard and schoolyard composting reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves soil health, and increases carbon sequestration. Participants will receive resources, lessons, and a compost bin to help them begin composting at home or even at school!

Join us Tuesday, June 24th - Thursday, June 26th for learning adventures throughout the Lake Erie basin while lodging at Old Woman Creek, one of Ohio's best remaining natural estuaries. Open to educators of all grades & disciplines with optional graduate credit hours available through Ashland University. Registration is required by June 1st!

Hosted by Geauga and Portage SWCDs and the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve
