Schoolyard Water Education Program. WMG provides comprehensive educational packages for free through our joint program effort with Arizona Project WET "Recharge the Rain" program. We teach students through hands-on activities and using outdoor learning laboratories. One of the central goals is to create and enhance outdoor classrooms on school campuses. If you are ready to start a program, contact Clayton with Arizona Project WET to intiate the "Recharge the Rain" program and then WMG can help to discuss project opportunities.

Consulting Services. WMG provides discounted consultation services to K-12 schools to assist in planning and implementing outdoor classrooms, water-harvesting strategies, and native and edible gardens. We may be able to assit with finding or applying for grant funding.

Training for Teachers and Maintenance Staff. Build the long-term capacity of your teachers and/or maintenance staff through a WMG training. We can provide training in 2-hour, 1/2-day, or one-day blocks. We can also provide scholarships for teachers to complete WMG’s existing trainings, such as our seven-day Water Harvesting Certification course.

Assistance for Covering Costs. We provide a discounted rate on all our services for schools and non-profit organizations. Contact us to see if we have grant funds available to work with your school. If your school writes grants, WMG can partner with you—we'll provide program estimates and descriptions to include in your grant proposal.

Curriculum. Visit our Living Lab and Learning Center (LLLC) or we can come to you! We can work with your school to present water and wildlife habitat education activities addressing one or more of the following topics:
