LSPA’s Education
Director Kathleen Stowell has about 1500 contacts
annually with students and adults. LSPA’s school
education program under Stowell works with elementary
school students in all the local schools. Much of
Watershed Steward Robert Wood’s work, and all
LSPA’s publications, are also educational in
nature.
Stowell provides environmental activities in many
of the region’s classrooms and also at various children’s
summer programs. She has helped the Kearsarge Regional
School District develop a watershed curriculum unit
for the fourth grades. As part of the unit, each class
spends a day at the Fells with Stowell, engaged in
activities to explore local habitats of meadow, forest
and stream.
LSPA also has provided teacher training workshops in
environmental education and in 2005 was the New Hampshire
host for Project WET’s national "Make a
Splash" festival, a day at which over 400 local
fourth and fifth graders learned about the importance
of clean water. In Fall 2007, LSPA will again host
the New Hampshire “Make A Splash” day.
