Sustainable Midlands Offers Education Programs in 2017

Attention all schools, scout and church groups! Sustainable Midlands is kicking off the new year in high gear with its education outreach curricula. The local watershed ecology curricula are called Carolina River Rangers and Green L.E.A.F. The programs will focus on several key areas of sustainable interest. Those interested in an experiential curriculum that addresses such topics as local watershed ecology, understanding stormwater, riparian zone ecosystems, food webs, local food and sustainable agriculture, native plants and animals, and pollution control should contact Sustainable Midlands. The organization can also help coordinate and lead sustainable field trips throughout Columbia to local farms, LEED-certified buildings, wild edible plant paths, as well as local rivers and parks.
