Educational Programs
The MWMO has a variety of education and outreach programs to help people learn more about our work and how we can all work together to protect water quality and habitat in and around the Mississippi River.
Programs on our site, the MWMO Stormwater Park and Learning Center, are geared for youth (7th grade and older) and/or adults in groups of 30 or less, although we can accommodate larger groups in some cases. Programs are generally 1-2 hours in length.
Off-site options are available for a wider variety of ages and group sizes. Please feel free to contact us with your specific needs. All programs are offered free of charge.
