Alabama
Clean Streams:
Watershed
Awareness and Stormwater Pollution Prevention |
In cooperation with
the City of Auburn, the Sustainability Initiative has created
this educational program to raise awareness of watersheds
in the state, within our cities, and the problems they face
from everyday activities that we all engage in.
The program will be presented to all the 4th grade students
in the city public schools. At the end of the two week program,
students from each school will have the chance to create a
design that will be used to mark stormdrains in Auburn for
the next 15-25 years.
We are making the materials that we have modified or created
available to other educators for their use. You will find
detailed summaries of the program and can download materials
using the links below.
If you have any questions or comments please contact the
project coordinator, Matt Williams: 334-844-7777, miwilliams[at]auburn.edu

 An
example of the storm drain markers that students will potentially
create. Each of the four main creek drainages in Auburn will
have a unique design selected from the student entries. |
