Comments from past grant recipients:
"'My son knew many things about watersheds before this project, but now, as we drive past lakes and through town, he notices things on an environmental level. This [experience] has heightened his awareness.'" - Karen Laverty, quoting a parent of one of her students, Maranacook Community Middle School
"Students learned from doing and completed a positive project from which all parties benefited." - Ned Hatfield, Bonny Eagle High School
"We have made good contacts with people in the area and learned who is needed for advice the next time." - Kathy Hockman, Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School
"The [Lake] Association had several landowners stopping by to view the project. All had words of encouragement and enthusiasm for projects like this to help alleviate nonpoint source pollution." - Kathy Hockman, Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School
"My students gained an appreciation for watershed protection. They became involved in the education of their own community. Community members saw the youth in their community working to improve the environmental quality of their own surroundings." -Andy Bosworth, Monmouth Academy
