We believe education is the first step in creating change. By instilling a sense of responsibility, we can empower students to become active participants in building cleaner and healthier cities and waterways. These young environmental stewards can and will become our future community leaders!  

Osprey’s educational lesson plans can be customized for grades K–12, as well as adapted for nontraditional audiences like conferences, corporate training, and civic groups with an interest in environmental action.
