Education
Building a culture of care for the river starts with youth education. Using sites along the Clark Fork River as the center of place-based teaching, we foster a scientific understanding of river health and stewardship that leads to a deeper sense of belonging to the watershed.
How we do it
We work with educators in K-12 and college classrooms to provide high-quality learning experiences. Educators work with us to tailor a variety of hands-on watershed literacy and research activities in the classroom or in the field. From modeling the watershed to investigating the connection between snowfall and stream flow, these lessons use inquiry-based methods to tackle real-world watershed problems and answer important questions about the quality and resiliency of local rivers and streams.
Education programs cultivate tomorrow’s river stewards.
