Youth Education
Our commitment to supporting the restoration of riparian areas includes providing educational opportunities to the next generation of stewards. 
Have a RiversEdge West staff member visit with your class or take them in the field!
We offer both an interactive classroom program and experiential learning in the field, when possible, for K-college level students. Each presentation is individually designed to meet grade-specific district standards, covering topics such as:
-
healthy habitat
-
biodiversity
-
predator/prey relationships
-
riparian/riverside areas
-
invasive plants
-
the tamarisk beetle
-
the life cycle of the tamarisk beetle
-
the important role that the students themselves play in the future of healthy rivers.
Presentations can be scheduled anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours in length. A 1.5-hour time slot is recommended for a full introduction to riparian habitats.
To set up a time, email REW's Education and Outreach Coordinator, Cara Kukuraitis, at Ckukuraitis@RiversEdgeWest.org.
REW's river education program is funded in part by the Xcel Energy Foundation.
RiversEdge West's
mission is to advance the restoration of riparian lands through collaboration, education, and technical assistance.
