What is Watershed Education?
 |
The Bureau of State Parks' Watershed Education is an educational, action-oriented, multi-disciplinary curriculum and program that promotes investigation, research and decision-making skills. Watershed Education is designed to serve Pennsylvania teachers and students on the topic of watershed education, comply with the watershed-based management directive of the Department of Environmental Protection, and address the proposed Environment and Ecology standards from the Pennsylvania Department of Education. |
Watershed Education was designed with assistance and input from these agencies as well as numerous educational professionals to ensure educational and scientific soundness and compliance with all state laws and regulations. Watershed Education takes a comprehensive approach to learning about a natural resource. Instead of focusing on monitoring a waterway, it allows students to look at all factors, past and present, human and non-human, which affect the entire watershed. An exciting component of the program is the use of technology through a web page and database. This web site allows students to research information, enter and compare data statewide, and share their knowledge.
