Watershed 101 Workshop with Riverdale Grade School

We were glad to put on a Watershed 101 workshop with Riverdale Grade School students! Eighth graders taking a quarterly elective called Environmental Stewardship were able to get outside and get hands-on on campus by removing tree ivy from trees behind the school’s buildings. These trees had clearly been treated for tree ivy before, as evidenced by the remnants of larger old-growth ivy vines. By splitting our workshop across two days -one for a presentation where we explored TCWC’s Interactive Map, the other for hands-on work- we were able to provide education about watersheds as well as a chance to get outside and experience the near instant gratification that tree ivy work provides!
