Geauga & Portage SWCDs Offer Educator Workshop to Explore our Wetland Gems!


For over 25 years, the Geauga and Portage Soil & Water Conservation Districts have offered the Wonders of Watersheds (WOW) workshops as valuable, affordable, and rewarding teacher trainings.    Brand new and just for you, this summer’s workshop will take an in-depth look at the wetlands within our watersheds – with the chance to see some of our most pristine local gems.  We’ll explore our intimate link to wetlands, our increasing dependency on them, and ways to effectively integrate natural resources topics into your classroom.

Join us Monday, June 24th – Wednesday, June 26th as we rally for wetlands through outdoor investigations, hands-on activities, guest speakers, new resources, field exploration, and time to connect and rejuvenate!  Each day will take us on new adventures throughout Geauga and Portage Counties.  Open to educators of all grades and disciplines and one or two optional graduate credit hours are available through Ashland University.

Registration is required by June 1st.  For more information visit geaugaswcd.com/education or contact Gail Prunty at gprunty@geauga.oh.gov or 440-834-1122.
