Student Groups

HRWA works with numerous schools throughout the Herring Run Watershed. Potential student volunteer activities include one-time events such as...

• planting trees on school grounds or in local parks or greenways
  
• collecting native seeds for Growing Native
  
• mulching and watering recently planted trees
  
• building and installing rain barrels
  
• stenciling storm drains
  
• pulling weeds and picking up trash along local streams
  

Or long-term conservation activities such as...

• building and maintaining a school rain garden
  
• managing a Growing Native Grow Out Station
  
• adopting a stream and monitoring its chemical, physical, and biological health
  

We are always looking for new school partnerships and new activities to meet your curricular and service-learning needs, so please don't hesitate to contact us.
