Curriculum Resources for the
Watershed Education Program
Judy Tumosa, Watershed Education Specialist, August 2020
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.
