Education Programs

Education is vital to the WRP’s mission to improve the long-term health of the White River and its watershed. By increasing understanding and appreciation for our watershed, we hope to influence changes in the behaviors, opinions, and land uses that affect it.

Public Workshops

The WRP regularly organizes and co-sponsors free public workshops that explore interesting topics, including forest stewardship, wildlife, invasive species, water quality, and more. These outreach and education efforts provide opportunities for the public to explore the watershed and to learn more about the invaluable resources it provides. Our goal is to generate increased awareness about the challenges facing our watershed so that we can collectively work to resolve them.

Monitoring the White River

In addition, the WRP works closely with community schools to engage students in watershed education activities. For example, in spring 2010, the WRP received a Wellborn Ecology Fund grant to initiate a school-based Monitoring the White River Program for 12 towns in the White River watershed.
