Riverbend Environmental Education Center awarded state grant

HARRISBURG, May 27 – The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection awarded Riverbend Environmental Education Center a $29,312 state grant to help educate students about watersheds, announced state Rep. Mary Jo Daley.

Making Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences Work for You: A Year-long Community of Practice & Professional Development Program will benefit K-8 teachers who are teaching students about the environment.

The program is a three-day intensive Summer Science Workshop, for a new cohort of teachers who focus on learning through Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs).

“Investing in environmental education is investing in our future,” said Daley, D-Montgomery. “This grant to Riverbend Environmental Education Center will give teachers the tools and training they need to engage students in meaningful, hands-on learning about our local watersheds. I’m proud to support programs that connect science education with real-world environmental stewardship.”
