Spring 2024 Learning Series

The GLSI Discovering PLACE is pleased to announce the Spring 2024 Professional Learning Series. This series seeks to build the capacity of K-12 teachers in the Flint River watershed to educate students about nonpoint source pollution; its impact on local waterways; its relationships to climate change and environmental justice concerns; and to explore what students–citizens and stewards of the watershed–can do to enhance and protect our local communities and environment. This series is made possible thanks to a grant awarded from the State of Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE).

COMING SUMMER 2024:
