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.
The 2009 Symposium keynote speaker will be...... Jim Hutchins of Oregon Stewardship
