Planning a Watershed Education Program
The Ohio Watershed Network, a unit of the Ohio State University Extension, has implemented a watershed education module designed to provide guidance to those interested in establishing education programs to teach targeted specific audiences on how they can make informed decisions to protect and improve water quality and watershed issues in general. Visit http://ohiowatersheds.osu.edu/toolshed/education/ to learn more about creating a targeted watershed education program.
