later with care

Learning about what goes on in
backyard streams and neigh-
borhood creeks can help stu-
dents develop an awareness
and concern for water.

That's the idea behind the water
stewardship program, developed by
a team of educators and scientists.
After three years of curriculum
development and pilot projects in the
Okanagan, the program’s resource
guide, Water Stewardship: Guide for
Teachers, Students and Community
Groups, is available province-wide.

The program was unveiled
recently in Vernon by the Ministry of
Environment, Lands and Parks.
Thirty-five teachers and experts
from the ministry and the

Department of Fisheries and Oceans .

developed and reviewed the pro-
gram. More than 600 students were
involved in the developmental and

pilot phases.

“The program teaches students to
care for aquatic habitats and pre-
serve them for future generations,
not just generations of people, but all
living things.” said Armstrong
teacher and project coordinator Kim
Fulton,

“Our goal is to involve kids in
stewardship of the local environ-
ment, so they develop a concern and
an understanding of what goes on in
streams, rivers and wetlands.”

The project involved several part-
ners, including the Ministry of
Environment, Lands and Parks, the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans,
the Habitat Conservation Fund,
BC21, Forest Renewal BC, SFU and
five Okanagan school districts.

_ Workshops for teachers and com-
munity groups are being presented .
around the province. For more infor-
