Project WET develops education curriculum for teachers to reach children with experiential, science-based water resource education. Come learn about Project WET and participate in a demonstration of several activities! Attendees will leave with the Projet WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0. Please bring payment to the workshop!
Hosted by the Federation of Vermont Lakes and Ponds and the Vermont DEC Lakes and Ponds Program. This seminar will feature discussions of shoreland management and protection, aquatic invasive species (AIS) management, nutrient management through lake protection plans, and the effect of atmospheric pollution (carbon dioxide, acid rain, phosphorus, and mercury) on lakes.
Sediment is the world’s #1 pollutant. During storms, disturbed soils erode and wash into streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands, threatening drinking water, fish and wildlife, and recreational uses. This workshop teaches techniques for preventing and controlling erosion and supports a favorable quality of life in Vermont. Materials and practices for controlling sediment and designing and installing effective long-term erosion control solutions will be displayed and presented. These field days are a unique combined effort between the private and public sectors to share information and promote a better understanding of the latest erosion control tools and techniques. The goal is to provide information that is immediately useful to all who attend.
