The Center's Watershed Science Education and Outreach program provides science-based education and training to a broad spectrum of the community including students, landowners and watershed groups.

Education programs for K-12 youth are focused on the functions and values of watersheds and ecosystems, and offer an innovative curriculum that incorporates science and math standards in a dynamic field setting. Students engage in stream assessment and monitoring, as well as hands-on habitat restoration. Youth participants gain leadership skills by mentoring younger students and leading community restoration events. 

Community education and training programs include workshops, seminars and publications focused on watershed assessment and monitoring, native plant collection and propagation, invasive species control, habitat restoration, as well as science and technology applications in the natural resources field.
