DALLAS – Free training for environmental educators, teachers, volunteers and others interested in presenting educational programs on water quality and conservation will be offered by the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Dallas, organizers said.
Two training sessions will be offered on Jan. 20: from 9 a.m. to noon; and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., said Dr. Dotty Woodson, AgriLife Extension program specialists in water resources. The training will be held in the pavilion at the Dallas center, 17360 Coit Road, Dallas.
The morning session will be targeted toward environmental educators with city, county and school districts.
The afternoon workshop will be aimed at members of local chapters of Texas Master Naturalists, Texas Master Gardeners and other interested volunteers.
Experts from the center are interested in training volunteers to form a water-education team to assist with presenting water-conservation and water-quality concepts at schools, environmental fairs and other community events, Woodson said.
