Title
Clark Fork Watershed Education Program (CFWEP): Building Stewardship through Science
Abstract
Since its inception in 2005, the CFWEP has reached over 13,000 students and 250 teachers in western Montana with an science inquiry-rich curriculum using the Upper Clark Fork River as an outdoor laboratory and professional scientists and university faculty as instructors. The programs mission is to foster environmental stewardship and scientific decision making through place-based learning. This poster will present an overview of three of the CFWEPs main programs: the Clark Fork Education Portal, an on-line educational resource; the CFWEP Base-level program and the Milltown Dam Education Program. Overview will include student and teacher data, as well as field data collected at various sampling sites on the Upper Clark Fork from Butte to Missoula.
