Curriculum Resources for the
Watershed Education Program
Kayla Croteau, Watershed Education Specialist, July/August 2022
All of these curriculum resources are part of the NHFG Watershed Education Program Teacher Manual that can also be provided in a 3-ring binder format. I prefer when possible to have teachers attend the necessary training to do the various phases of WEP. These resources are meant to be curriculum support, not a replacement, for that training.
