The Watershed Center strives to provide age appropriate, place-based, education about our water resources. Some groups come simply to enjoy the Park. Casual visitors can learn about the site through interpretive signage and kiosks located around the park. Often, school groups, professional groups, and community groups want a more formal experience like a field trip or workshop. The Watershed Committee employs an education and outreach coordinator to help such groups plan an educational experience at the Watershed Center.
