Success StoryWater Awareness month



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.
