The Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) is a key component of the PA STEELS Standards for Environmental Literacy and connects seamlessly across all science disciplines.

Join us on October 15 for a special MWEE Ambassador Training featuring the Leaf Pack Network! Participants will:

• – Learn the fundamentals of the MWEE framework.
• – Explore how the Leaf Pack Network can bring stream ecology into the classroom.
• – Connect STEELS standards with hands-on, outdoor learning experiences.
• – Learn about environmental issues and outdoor learning.

This full-day outdoor training will be held at the Stroud Center, where you’ll step into their research stream to collect and identify macroinvertebrates — a fun, immersive way to engage with watershed science.

Please dress for outdoor exploration and fall weather! As the event approaches, we’ll share a detailed agenda and instructions.

We can’t wait to learn with you while enjoying the crisp air and vibrant fall colors!
