The goal of this program is to support the county’s schools as they evolve into “Green Schools” that model wise resource use, eliminate waste, reduce non-point source pollution and train students to conserve scarce resources like energy and water.  The program provides both in-class and school-wide presentations, educational assemblies and technical assistance to member schools. Presentations are available to all grades
