Promoting environmental literacy within the watershed is one of the Roundtable’s goals. Through digestible and relatable approaches, including Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs), the Roundtable translates and transmits information to motivate behavior change, inspire related action and empower all watershed communities while enhancing the watershed experience and bolstering the watershed’s visibility and value. During its 2021 Spring All-Hands Meeting, the Roundtable recognized, for the first time in its history, formal and informal educators in the watershed that have worked toward a similar end, and the Roundtable’s ultimate vision: A fishable and swimmable York River, Mobjack Bay, and Piankatank River.
The Roundtable continues to award the following for superb environmental literacy programming and inspired watershed stewardship:
