The Virginia Rivers & Streams East Environmental Education program provides one-day, primarily canoe-based, field investigations for students and teachers. These field investigations are designed to provide participants with the opportunity to investigate and explore Virginia’s local waterways and learn about its connection to the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Participants learn about water quality and the effects that pollution and land use have on the Bay’s tributaries. The “canoeing classroom” affords students the opportunity to conduct biological and chemical tests and discover how they can take action to help preserve and restore the watershed. This mobile canoe program explores the rivers & creeks of central and tidewater, VA using different canoe sites to reach students in their local watersheds. The program staff travel extensively throughout the greater Richmond area with occasional travel to Norfolk and Virginia Beach to canoe some of the most scenic tributaries in the watershed. This position requires the ability to work with a changing work schedule/time due to the varied work sites and travel.
