The Red River Center for Watershed Education was formed to create and implement education and professional programs in watershed science. The Center partners with K-12 and community education, resource management professionals, and decision makers in an effort to enhance leadership capacity and decision making in surface water quality issues affecting the Red River of the North Watershed. The Center serves as the catalyst organization whose mission transcends across the basin without constraints of state or provincial jurisdictions.
Center Initiatives

Watershed Education
The Center provides leadership in developing educational programs and activities which span basin-wide. Watershed education provides opportunities to break down barriers that hinder understanding between state and international boundaries. The Center is the leader and catalyst in developing a seamless watershed education program with content standards, monitoring and assessment protocols, and connections at the community, K-12, and post secondary education levels. The focus of our work is on partnership building for the benefit of the citizens living within the Red River of the North Watershed.
Professional Development
The Red River and You Teachers Institute is a professional development opportunity for teachers, educators, and community leaders; and is held in July of each year. The 2005 conference is scheduled for July 17-21 in the Fergus Falls, Minnesota area. The training is designed to help educators understand and incorporate Red River of the North Watershed education activities into their learning outcomes.
