Title
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN ONE OF THE LARGEST SUPERFUND SITES IN AMERICA
Synopsis
How do you teach the next generation about Superfund, and its associated environmental damage and repair? How do you talk about the science of toxic waste effects on a local ecology and environment? How do you engage a community and their beliefs to encourage stewardship of the land? As STEAM program providers, we will describe how we do this work, our opportunities for improvement, as well as our pedagogical minds-on and hands-on approach to this tackle this complex issue.
