From Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District–

There are a few remaining spaces left in this summer’s Groundwater to the Gulf training, June 17-20 in Austin.

Register now for Groundwater to the Gulf: A summer institute for Central Texas Educators! Every year, water experts from over 13 agencies in Central Texas combine forces to take 50 teachers to the aquatic hotspots in and around Austin. We go caving, canoeing, hiking, and splash in streams–all in the name of science. It is the most fun, free way to earn 22 continuing education credits.

Sign-up is limited to 50 teachers… and there are a few slots left. It’s free, but you have to mail in a $50 check–which we give back once you complete the training. Join us! More info below!
