Lake Governance Conversations with Essex High School

 

 

 
Essex High School science classrooms experienced authentic stakeholder exercises over the course of four days (June 10th, 11th, 14th, and 15th). CWDD Outreach Professional, Janel Roberge, instructed students on how to complete surveys regarding their preferences for the health of Lake Champlain. Students also role-played various individuals and organizations that have a vested interested in keeping Lake Champlain clean. The exercise gave students a broader understanding of the various stakeholders invested in the health of the lake and provided an opportunity to engage in thought-provoking conversations about the complicated issues surrounding waterbody governance.
