State of the James Update: Teacher Webinar Series Middle School Focus
October 29 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Continue your professional development with the State of the James team as we release the latest edition of our report! This session is designed for middle school educators and will dive deep into one of the biggest challenges facing the James River: runoff pollution.
The new State of the James report provides updated numbers and critical conclusions regarding how nonpoint source pollution—like stormwater runoff—is impacting the river’s health and restoration progress. This webinar will provide you with:
- An understanding of the key data and trends on pollution from developed lands and agriculture.
- The concepts of pervious vs. impervious surfaces and their role in the watershed.
- Engaging activities and resources to teach middle school students (Grades 6-8) about pollution sources and green infrastructure solutions (e.g., rain gardens, riparian buffers).
Empower your students to become problem-solvers in their local environment with the most current data on the James River.
