LEAHY
CENTER
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS |
ECHO is
fortunate to have many program opportunities in
collaboration with our Leahy Center partners — all of
whom have a vested interest in the health of the Lake. |
|
The
Leahy Center Partnership Programs have evolved in our first
years of operations to engage youth and adults in science,
cultural history, and stewardship programs through research
projects and science data collection. Our current
partnership programs include:
- Lake Champlain Live — middle
and high school students engage in science research
onboard the UVM Research Vessel, Melosira, as they
learn first-hand about the issues affecting Lake Champlain
- Emerging Threats
— translating UVM's Rubenstein School of Natural Resources
research on invasive species, phosphorus loads, and other
concerns of the Lake to the public through interactive
programs and exhibits
- Lake Champlain Basin Program
Watershed Table — beyond the engaging,
in-depth resources offered onsite at ECHO, LCBP offers a
unique watershed model available as an outreach program to
schools and events
- EPSCoR's Stream Project
— similar to the Emerging Threats program, this new
project has the capacity to inform ECHO's visitors about
the Lake Champlain watershed's network of streams and
possible stewardship actions to improve their health
|
 |
ECHO's
role in many of these projects is to provide a venue for
scientists to engage and inform the lay person about their
watershed research in understandable ways while encouraging
visitors assess their own impact, behaviors, attitudes, and
values around the health of this magnificent resource and
responsibility.
