SJMA, Mountain Studies Institute, and Water Information Project plan to facilitate the Forests to Faucets Teacher Workshop for the fifth time this summer. The free workshop is two days of hands-on place-based teacher training designed around the children’s book My Water Comes from the San Juan Mountains. The workshop scheduled for June 2018 will include hands-on exploration of rivers and surrounding forests. Our investigations will be based on the My Water Comes from the San Juan Mountains book and curriculum guide which includes place-based lessons that address Colorado State standards.
