Our 13th Annual Watershed Education Symposium!

Our Watershed, Our Place

The Bear Creek Watershed Education Partners will sponsor the 13th annual Bear Creek Watershed Education Symposium at the Southern Oregon University Stevenson Student Union Building. The event is set for:

This event brings together students, educators, community organizations and natural resource agencies from throughout Bear Creek and neighboring watersheds to share their outdoor education experiences. The symposium offers a forum for discussion and a means of exploring new ways of studying our watershed.

The primary purpose is to provide students with the opportunity to make presentations on their outdoor education projects and to set up table displays. All grade levels are welcome. We invite presentations from all disciplines, including science, writing, math, social science and visual art projects that focus on watershed topics. This year we will have a new focus on the arts with gallery space available for contributions from classes that have done art, photography, poetry, etc about the watershed.

The symposium will reinforce the idea that we all live in a watershed and that our efforts to understand and improve its conditions interconnect. Students and educators who are not making presentations and the general public are encouraged to attend. Due to space constraints, we are limited to 250 student participants. Funds are available to assist with transportation expenses, so register early.
