GET WET! Info. Session on Zoom

GET WET! Info. Session on Zoom
Wednesday, February 5th
from 5:30-6:30 p.m.

GMCG hosts the Groundwater Education through Well Water Evaluation and Testing (GETWET!) information session for volunteers and teachers at the GMCG Blue Heron House located at 236 Huntress Bridge Rd, Effingham, NH. GET WET! is based out of the University of Maine and is designed to engage local students and the community in learning about and protecting drinking water. The mission of GETWET! is to bring collaborative environmental research into the community through the classroom in order to understand local environmental changes and promote public health through safe drinking water. Students collect water from their home following sampling protocols and test for seven different parameters, including chloride, nitrate, pH, hardness, iron, conductivity and microplastics. GMCG has been leading this program in local schools for seventeen years. This program is suitable for students in grades 6-12, and any teachers wishing to bring the program to their school should contact Tara Schroeder at education@gmcg.org.
