The
goal of the Community Education Program is to foster behavioral change that
leads to resource conservation and advances the mission of the Reserve.
Community Education focuses on audiences whose personal choices directly
impact the integrity of our estuaries and their associated watersheds.
Activities include events, like the Watershed Block Party, that are
intended to raise awareness of environmental issues and values, as
well as in-depth courses for community members such as Cape-Friendly
Landscaping and Green Home and Business: Focus on Energy (a course
on energy efficiency and renewable energy).
Target audiences include, but are not limited to, residents of the Waquoit Bay watershed
and surrounding communities, watershed residents
and recreational users of the Reserve. WBNERR promotes the adoption
of environmentally sustainable behavior related to energy consumption,
landscaping, and construction, among other topics. |
