Students and teachers studying aspects of the Delaware River Watershed shared research and stewardship initiatives on local watersheds as they networked and participated in educational seminars with other students and professionals during this three-day event.

Career Orientation
Professional
Presentations

Trip on Lake Nockamixon (Pa.) for Middle School Participants
Ropes
Course and Camping at Worthington State Forest (N.J.) for High School Participants

Schools sent teams of approximately six students to represent their watershed by conducting a 20-minute presentation and preparing an exhibit of their watershed project. One or more designated adults from the school district were in attendance and took responsibility for students during the conference.
The primary sponsor of this event was the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of State Parks - Delaware River Watershed Education. The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) was happy to support this very worthwhile, educational program.
