Education

Franklin Soil and Water’s Environmental Education Team offers resources to educators, summer camps, schools and other youth organizations across Franklin County. Our interactive programs connect youth to the local environment and instill a strong sense of environmental stewardship, specifically the conservation, protection and improvement of soil and water resources. All programs are correlated to Ohio’s Science Learning Standards and include models, simulations, interactive activities and/or literature connections. Education programs are made possible with support from Franklin County Commissioners, City of Columbus, participating Municipalities, Villages and Townships.

Our Environmental Education team also offers Education Loan Kits as well as the Envirothon Contest, Conservation Poster Contest, Camp Canopy Scholarship and Educator Workshops on an annual basis. Check out the tabs to the right for more detailed information and additional educator resources.
