LCSG water resources education programs engage and educate students and teachers about watersheds, water quality and aquatic resources. These place-based education programs weave together classroom instruction, stream monitoring, and community service. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every student in the basin is aware of the importance of water resources, the problems facing basin residents, their causes and potential solutions. Reaching this goal will require that water resources education is part of the curriculum of every school in the Lake Champlain basin. We can prepare students to use their knowledge to promote personal and community responsibility for pollution prevention, water quality protection and aquatic resources stewardship -- today and in the future.

Our educational activities, which target students from kindergarten through high school, fit under two primary programs: Watershed Alliance and Youth Watershed Stewardship.  LCSG also provdes education, technical assistance and leadership for local water quality protection through the NEMO program.
