CRWA attends community events and visits classrooms, camps, and informal youth programs! CRWA is happy to offer virtual visits during the COViD-19 pandemic.
Classroom visits require a donation of $100/class presentation to help us cover costs. A typical presentation can vary from 30-60 minutes, depending on your school’s schedule and student age. If your school or program cannot afford the fee, check the pro bono request box in the form below. CRWA provides a dedicated number of pro bono presentations every year. All presentations and demonstrations are personalized for each visit.
CRWA also attends community events such as fairs, festivals, or speaking panels across the watershed, depending on evolving COVID-19 protocols.
Please fill out a request form for your event at least 3 weeks in advance.
Watershed in a Box
Our biggest hit with children and families is our “Watershed in a Box” hands-on demonstration, which uses an enviroscape model to teach kids about the importance of nature, the different kinds of pollution, and how pollution gets into rivers and other waterbodies. We also discuss the ways everyone can become an environmental steward and make changes to protect our environment and reduce pollution. This model can also be adapted to show climate change impacts and the nature-based solutions we can put into place to combat them.
Presentations
If you are looking for a presentation, CRWA often speaks about the Charles River watershed, eco-friendly habits and volunteer opportunities, green infrastructure, climate change, water quality, and more.
Tabling
CRWA often tables at festivals, fairs, and other community events! We'd love to bring hands-on demonstrations and speak with residents. Donations for these events are encouraged to help cover costs, but not required.
