Outreach and education is an important strategic goal of DRBC. Connecting with students (and people of all ages) helps share information about the commission and the Delaware River, as well as encourages stewardship of our shared water resources.
Last month, DRBC Communications Specialist Kate Schmidt visited the Doane Academy in Burlington, N.J. to talk to the lower school students (grades 1-5) about the Delaware River. They are working on projects for their upcoming STEAM Fair about various river topics (boats, bridges, fish, human impacts, etc.), and their teachers wanted us to give them a tour of the river, from the mountains to the sea.

The students were an engaged audience and asked many good questions. DRBC staff enjoy these experiences and plan to head back to Doane and check out the students' projects at their STEAM Fair this month.
