Education

Public Education is a very important tool for us at Redboine Watershed District. We strive to give our local residents as many opportunities as possible to learn about who we are, what we do, and why we do it. We also work with other Educational Partners to create awareness of sustainable land-use & conservation practices through community and school programs.

Manitoba Envirothon

The Manitoba Envirothon is an annual hands-on environmental education competition for high school students, designed to encourage team work, problem-solving skills, and public speaking skills while fostering an appreciation for current environmental issues.

Water Festivals

Water Festivals are an important part of environmental education and give students an opportunity to get out in nature and experience hands-on activities. Redboine Watershed District has helped out with many water festivals, especially the Binney Water Festival which we co-host with the Pembina Valley Watershed District every year.

River Watch

The South Central Eco Institute is an umbrella organization consisting of members of the academic community, local governmental representatives, representatives from the eco-environmental trades and agencies, and interested community members. The program coordinator is available to come along on a class field trip to collect water samples, give a workshop on water quality and sampling, give a PD workshop on water quality and hydrology science for the staff at your school or give a program presentation.

To discuss or book any of these, please email Kent, the program coordinator: klewarne@prspirit.org
