Introducing the Watershed Classroom!

Spring, 2013, marks the beginning of an ambitious educational project which aims to see every student in Petaluma at every grade-level learning about the Petaluma Watershed. The goal envisions Petaluma’s kindergartners through high school seniors learning some aspect of science and social studies, English, and even math, through hands-on, project-based lessons that have been designed by their teachers with a focus on the River and the Watershed.

Watershed Classroom

Watershed Classroom supports the implementation of exceptionally engaging curriculum about the Petaluma River and Watershed to educate youth in Petaluma about their place in our environment, how their decisions and actions affect their environment and inspire youth to conserve and celebrate the Petaluma Watershed.
