The Milk River Watershed Council Canada is committed to educating youth and the public about the importance and uniqueness of the Milk River watershed. The Councils’ educational programs reach youth located within and outside the watershed, through programming in partnership with Writing on Stone Provincial Park and in-class activities in the local communities.
The Springboard Grant will support the staff time, training and new material development necessary to support educational outreach capacity as an organization. Connecting young Albertans to the landscape through compelling, interactive, well-structured programs is a way to increase understanding of the impacts of climate change, the importance of biodiversity and watershed stewardship.
