Field Trip to the Watershed

At the Watershed Center, they strive to provide age-appropriate, place-based education about their water resources. Some groups come to enjoy the Park–The Watershed Center is located at Valley Water Mill Park, which is open from sunrise to sunset every day (except Christmas…). Casual visitors can learn about the site through interpretive signage and kiosks located around the park.

Often, school groups, professional groups, and community groups want a more formal experience like a field trip or workshop. The Watershed Committee employs an education and outreach coordinator to help such groups plan an educational experience at the Watershed Center.

Early Learners’ classes had the opportunity to take a short hike in nature and plant some seeds of a native plant that will be be planted next spring.  Thanks to all who came and participated! It was a perfect day to be outside and fun was had by all!
