Small Waters Education offers a variety of programs that can be contoured to fit the needs of an individual or group.

Here are a few examples of programs Small Waters Education has designed and facilitated.  Contact us to explore how we can help your group.

SERVICE LEARNING – A slide presentation to all the classes introduced middle school students to the natural history of the globally-endangered Oak Savanna in their neighborhood.  Sixteen students volunteered their time in a six-week after-school program where they learned winter tree identification and helped remove invasive trees and brush from the savanna.

IMMERSIONS - College and University student organizations participate in a weekend of hands-on learning about local ecosystems, ecological restoration, and Permaculture solutions to sustainability issues. It is a truly unique experience engaging the whole person: mind, body, heart and spirit!

PRESENTATIONS - We are available to lead workshops and presentations on ecological restoration, permaculture, landscaping with native plants, and other topics for your school or community group.
