River Academy Open Registration
Spring Semester: January 19 – May 12, 2012
Register now for a comprehensive training course that provides an introduction to our Niagara River watershed through Saturday morning classes in stream science.
The River Academy program features local experts sharing their passion for Niagara River hydrology, geology, ecology, contamination issues, land use impacts, restoration project design, mapping, stream assessment and more. Sessions will include field trips and hands-on workshops. Participants will receive a certificate upon graduation.
River Academy provides an exciting opportunity for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of Niagara watershed issues, students in need of hands-on field experience, teachers seeking professional development, and all other fans of our amazing waterways!
Riverkeeper has partnered with Erie County Community College to provide this program, so course credits are available to participating students. ECC course credits are fully transferable to most SUNY schools.
River Academy classes will be held on Thursday evenings at ECC North Campus and Saturday mornings at the Riverkeeper office and field locations. Students not seeking course credit may attend Saturday sessions only.

Full, 1-semester program* = $250
