Michigan Sea Grant Extension provides educational outreach for this classroom-based program, which is designed for first- through third-graders. The children explore water conservation topics such as where water comes from, how to use water wisely, and how to protect and conserve this precious resource.

The presentation incorporates hands-on activities, demonstrations and games to educate and reinforce learning activities. This 50 minute program is noted by teachers as age appropriate and relates well to school standards and benchmarks.

The Water Conservation Program is free, is presented in classroom and may be scheduled November through March.

The Water Conservation Program is currently seeking volunteers to help present the Water Conservation Program to first through third grade students in schools throughout Macomb County.
