Education

The next generation of conservationists

Showing students that a career protecting land and water is real, reachable, and theirs for the taking.

Our education program

Bridging passion and possibility

Many of today’s youth are passionate about the environment. What they often lack is a clear picture of the careers and opportunities open to them.

By working with students, Broad Water looks to the future — showing young people their role in protecting natural resources through ecological restoration, and how public and private investment work together to safeguard our greatest assets. We visit high-school AP and IB Environmental Science classes, bring in panels of working professionals, and host students in the field at restored ecological sites.

If you want to work at a computer building plans for stream and wetland restoration, there is a job for you in this space. If you’d rather throw on your muck boots and do stem counts and monitoring in the field every day, there is a job for you in this space.
