Schoolyard Water Education

Customized Programs for K-12 Students

WMG offers a variety of environmental stewardship activities for K-12 students.  WMG's school curriculum focuses on water conservation and wildlife habitat through water harvesting and native gardening activities. Our program has a strong emphasis on hands-on, applied education; therefore, many of our activities are designed to take place outside on the school campus. WMG staff work with teachers to create a customized program to meet the students needs and improve school campuses. Through workshops, students and adult volunteers can install passive water harvesting earthworks, cisterns, edible gardens, and native gardens on campus.

Activities & Topics Covered with Students:

  • Hydrological cycle and observing water flows
  • Water conservation - indoor and outdoor
  • Rainwater harvesting 
  • Harvesting greywater 
  • Food gardening in desert climates 
  • Native gardening for pollinators and other wildlife

WMG offers in-class activities as well as weekend workshops. If desired, workshops can be arranged with adult volunteers, like students' parents.
