River Literacy
The Mancos Conservation District partners with the Mancos Public Library to hold River Literacy lessons as a part of their Friday Program. MCD’s Americorp Member, Hanna Koulogianis, will be holding lessons throughout the school year!
In these lessons, students get hands on science experience outside of the classroom and see new components of nature they may otherwise not see. This year students will have the opportunity to learn about the importance of water, water quality, avalanches, adaptations, bioaccumulation, and the water cycle.
The MCD staff are incredibly passionate about increasing environmental education and awareness at a young age. We believe it is crucial to understand our watershed and why we need to protect our natural resources. Come learn with us!
MCD is a certified “Snow School” site through the Winter Wildlands Association, SnowSchool is a K-12 educational program that helps connect youth across the country to snow science and winter recreation. As a SnowSchool site, our “Snow Science and Water Resources in a Changing Climate” unit is promoted nationally.
Reach out to the District today to learn more about receiving a Snow School field trip about the Mancos Watershed.
