School/youth Based
Water Quality Monitoring Seminar

May 27

Pierre, SD
SD Discovery Center

 
Educators and youth leaders who currently monitor water quality or want to monitor water quality with their students are invited to participate in this seminar to connect and network. Find out what other teachers are doing, discover new resources, and learn new tips and techniques. 

The purpose of this seminar is not to start a new program but rather create a sustainable network of educators involved in monitoring. The purpose of the network is to build the capacity of the local educator to incorporate water quality monitoring in his or her practice, reconnect former monitoring groups, and provide a point of contact to the larger monitoring community (volunteer and agency).

Youth development staff who work in extension are invited to participate as well.

This meeting can be extended into a credit opportunity by staying an extra day for a Healthy Water, Healthy People workshop (with kayaking field session) or you can attend the Space Science workshop.

Can't get away to attend?  We will set aside time for a web meeting to allow educators from around the state to participate in the status session.

Dates
May 27 10AM - 5PM
SD Discovery Center, Pierre

Mileage reimbursed for out-of-area attendees (including those who stay for additional professional development)
