Registration Form and Other Materials for the 2007 Youth Summit

Students and teachers studying aspects of the Delaware River Watershed are invited to share research and stewardship initiatives on local watersheds as they network and participate in educational seminars with other students and professionals during this three-day event.

This year the focus of the summit is Healthy Water, Healthy People, and the students will interact with scientists and professionals who help insure that the water we drink and use to prepare the food we eat is clean and of good quality. For additional information, please check out the 2007 Summit's flyer with attached intent form (58 KB; free Adobe reader required to view).

Schools are each encouraged to send a team of approximately six students to represent their watershed by conducting a 15-minute presentation and sharing an exhibit of their watershed research/action project.

One or more designated adults from the school district must be in attendance and responsible for students at all times during the conference.

The primary sponsor of this event is the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of State Parks - Delaware River Watershed Education. The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) is pleased to support this very worthwhile, educational program.
