Title
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION UPDATE
Background
Staff has completed the initial phase of environmental education and will promote the programs in the Summer Recreation Connection due to come out in mid-March. A draft copy has been attached for your review.
Staff would like some feedback on American Wetlands Month. Below are some ideas:
• An interactive display at City Hall focusing on wetlands. Displays will be provided by the Anoka Conservation District and the Rice Creek Watershed District
• Staff will purchase a professionally printed banner supporting AWM
• A table at World Fest on May 19 (in need of NRCB members to volunteer at this event)
• Educational social media posts regarding the benefits of wetlands and value of the resource in Blaine
• Resources promoting families to explore the Blaine Wetland Sanctuary on their own.
• Ideas?
