Water Awareness month
Author: Rex McBride
Planning Unit: Boone County CES
Major Program: Youth Forestry and Natural Resource Education
Plan of Work: Environmental education
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Boone County Extension Service observed the University of Kentucky "water Awareness Month" in May, 2018. As an office we planned programming in each program area based on increasing understanding of water systems such as pond and stream management, home water health, and lawn and garden watering techniques. Over a dozen programs were held, with a water based scavenger hunt as our culminating experience. Participants evaluated said they felt more aware of water concerns and plan to increase practices such as composting, use the KY Mesonet system to know when watering is needed, and attempt to decrease home water consumption.
