Narragansett Bay Commission educator, Cynthia Morrissette, has begun the Woon Watershed Explorers (WWE) program with 3rd graders during their STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) classes.

In the WWE program, students learn all about their local watershed and why it is so important to care about clean water. The program includes a monthly visit from NBC as well as three field trips to do water testing on the Woonasquatucket River, tour the Fields Point Waste Water Treatment Plant, and attend an Eco Conference at Goddard Park.
