This educator professional development workshop will focus on tools\, resources\, and ideas that pertain to climate change impacts and how to improve our choices around freshwater resources while focusing on a very special place on the planet\, White Clay Creek watershed.  \n\n\n\nWhite Clay Creek has a unique status of being a National Wild and Scenic River\, the first to be protected on a watershed basis. Flowing through parts of Chester County\, Pennsylvania\, and New Castle County\, Delaware\, the watershed faces threats that affect all of us. With outstanding resource values in recreation\, geology\, wildlife\, history\, and culture\, White Clay Creek is a perfect example for educators to bring place-based learning into their lessons that promote and support the protection and restoration of these resources.  \n\n\n\nSpecial guest speakers include Shane Morgan\, White Clay Creek management plan coordinator\, who will take us on a virtual tour and share the beauty and needs of the watershed as well as the opportunities to connect to a very special waterway. Sharing existing regional science\, Marc Peipoch\, Ph.D.\, an ecosystem ecologist at Stroud Water Research Center\, will bring us into an awareness and understanding of climate impacts with an update on the status of freshwater systems. Tara Muenz\, assistant director of education at the Stroud Center\, will then lead us into a set of hands-on/mind-on activities you can use with groups to start the conversation about climate resiliency in freshwater systems through the lens of aquatic macroinvertebrates! \n\n\n\nWhat more could you ask for? Jump on in and join us in February 2022! Questions? Please email Tara Muenz (co-instructor of workshop). \n\n\n\nPresented in partnership with:
