More than 500 8th graders from seven schools in Columbia County came together to learn why clean water is important, how their choices can impact water resources, and how they can be thoughtful stewards of the environment.
Along with volunteers from state agencies, conservation districts, and local watershed groups, several BU faculty, students, and grads have participated in this program every year. Here’s the list for 2018:
