Science of Watersheds Montgomery County Public Schools and VT Science Outreach are working together to develop service learning around local watersheds. We have the fascinating opportunity of having the Eastern Continental Divide in our area: with the New River drainage to the Gulf of Mexico, the Roanoke River drainage to the Albemarle Sound (Atlantic) of North Carolina, and a small tributary of James River drainage to the Chesapeake Bay. The project website is http://montcowatersheds.org/.
Teachers: please contact Llyn@vt.edu if you are interested in participating.
