One of the many environmental issues here is water pollution from industry, and improper sewage treatment.  Through this Club we'll learn about watershed ecology and sustainable use of land and water resources.  Students will also explore how the development of sustainable communities will result in protection of water resources.  Discussions and games will center on watershed characteristics, human activities resulting in water pollution and habitat destruction, the importance of watershed monitoring, and methods for restoring water quality and aquatic habitat.
		Environmental Projects Students will be expected to work on one or more environmental projects to raise awareness in the local community.  These projects may include speaking in the local high schools, training volunteers about water monitoring, conducting stream surveys, initiating a stream cleanup involving public participation, or leading a community forum on environmental issues.
