WATERSHED INSTITUTE

For more than seven decades, The Watershed Institute has led the fight to preserve our region's water and land. We engage local and state policy makers, urging them to strengthen environmental protections, improve planning and zoning, and make more informed decisions about our future. We work cooperatively with local towns through our Project for Municipal Excellence, and speak out against development proposals-from pipelines to tract housing-that threaten forests, wetlands, streams and other fragile habitats... The Watershed Institute serves more than 13,000 children, teens and adults through nearly 350 programs and events each year. Our experts teach environmental science through an inquiry-based, problem solving model. Watershed Nature Camp inspires an appreciation of nature in children from Kindergarten through 9th grade and our summer science academy engages high school students in real-world environmental challenges. We train K-12 science teachers in engaging, hands on workshops..
