Water Wise Workshops

Join OARS for their eighth summer of Water Wise WorkshopsThe series of five free outdoor workshops on environmental science and stewardship for children are designed for 6 – 10 year olds.  Through field-work, hands-on activities and lively group discussions, the young stewards are encouraged to explore the fascinating world of water and learn new ways of protecting it for all the creatures that depend it.  The topics include:

  • Your Watershed and the Water Cycle: Build a watershed and learn how the water cycle works.
  • Water Plants, Animals and Bugs: Discover the plants and animals that live in and around the water and learn how you can protect them.  Identify water bugs and learn the secret of how they can tell us about water quality.
  • Water Testing & Conservation: As a junior scientist you will test water, and learn how to protect and conserve it.
  • Water Wise Photography: Learn how to photograph our wonderful water-world.
  • Water Wise Wizards: Put together all you have learned during the Water Wise Workshops, you “magically” become a steward of your environment.

Registration required. Please call the OARS office at 978-369-3956
