Join Penn State Extension, the Ag and Environment Center, Pennsylvania Sea Grant, and fellow educators from across the Commonwealth for two days of immersive, hands-on watershed learning through the Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) curricular framework. The Dive Even Deeper—MWEEs and Trees Workshop is an extension of Penn State Extension’s award-winning Dive Deeper Water Educators Summit. It is designed to enhance your understanding by offering a Pa. Certified MWEE Ambassador workshop, an interactive session on tree species and planting protocols, and a comprehensive checklist for planning successful planting projects. This program is designed to equip educators with the tools and knowledge needed to create impactful environmental literacy experiences.

Participants may attend one or both days of the workshop for the same cost. Those who complete both days of in-person instruction, along with the online MWEE 101 course, will be designated as Pa. Certified MWEE Ambassadors. They will also receive program materials on tree identification and planting procedures to ensure the success of youth-led tree planting projects.

Registration fee covers light refreshments and lunch each day.
