Protecting NATURE’S resource through knowledge and

awareness of our Watershed

Tools for Educators

Education has proven time and time again to be the answer to solving problems and creating awareness. The

ability to communicate the need to protect and preserve our Lower Tennessee River Watershed can best be

handled through an educational process that touches the watershed’s citizens from kindergarten through adults.

The Lower Tennessee River Watershed Academy module is a repository of educational ideas and systems that

will guide teachers, professors and community educators through an understanding of the watershed system and

how we as individuals living within the borders of the watershed region can protect, preserve and enhance the

water quality of the network of streams, rivers and lakes that make-up the vast drainage area that is essential to

our well-being.

To access the wealth of knowledge housed in the Watershed Academy simply click on one of the four (4) tabs

located at the top of this module. The tab will open up into a source of several lesson plans that will provide the

best learning tools for the grade level selected. Some of the products were created locally and others are links

to well-known avenues of watershed education.

Take the time to visit each offering and familiarize yourself with the content. Please contact us with any comments
