K-12 Schools
Each year the SWP makes an effort to work with K-12 educators and students. There is not a more important audience than our kids.
Program Coordinator, Natasha Koss is pictured above talking to Marquette Senior High School students during a earth caching excursion along the Whetstone River. The Whetstone is an ideal river for study given that it starts in a very wooded, natural setting, and travels underneath miles of concrete under the City of Marquette, then empties to Lake Superior.
Earth Caching is using a GPS device to locate landforms and natural landmarks. It is similar to geo caching but instead of locating a box filled with objects, the participant is locating things in the natural world.
Are you interested in having someone from the SWP visit your classroom? Give us a call. The SWP is also always looking for interns or volunteers interested in doing environmental education and programming, year round.
