NBC's Watershed Explorers Program is a free, hands-on environmental education program that provides students in grades 2-5 in schools within the NBC service area with an in-depth look into their watershed.
Most students don’t know that they live in a watershed, nor do they know what that means for them. The program allows students to explore and complete experiments in their watershed in the hopes that they grow to understand how vital watersheds are and work to protect them for future generations. The program also works to meet state and national science standards through the use of well-designed in-class lessons, and field activities.
