The 15th Annual Delaware River Watershed Education Youth Eco-Leadership Summit will be held April 20-22 at the Freedoms Foundation in Valley Forge, Pa.

The Watershed Education Summit is a regional / basin-wide gathering of students, teachers, and resource personnel, designed to be a educational and networking experience for all students studying the Delaware Watershed and participants in the Bureau of State Parks’ Watershed Education Program.

The Summit historically has encompassed a wide variety of experiences. Students participate in a field trip with both educational and interpretative sections. A selection of workshops designed to enhance field technique as well as knowledge base are offered.

Separate forums are developed to introduce a variety of issues, from local to global. Most importantly the students are given a venue to share their Watershed Education projects, presenting their projects and network with other students who may be facing the same challenges in their watersheds.

The registration deadline is April 7.
