Muskegon County Water Festival – September 23 & 24, 2014
USGBC West Michigan will be participating in a 2-day annual water festival for 3rd graders.  We are looking for one or two member companies that can help with a message about green buildings and water conservation and hope that you might have a staff member or 2 who would come and share an activity with local 3rd graders for a day! This year will take place on Sept. 23 and 24 at the USS Silversides Museum in Muskegon.

Last years Muskegon County Water Festival:

Goals for this years event:

The focus of the activities are in 4 categories:

  1. water quality
  2. water properties and cycle
  3. aquatic habitats
  4. human use

There were 3 rotations of 100 students moving through 4 stations going on at the same time. So, at 25 students for 40 minutes eight times throughout the day. This year we are expanding this rotation to 2 full days so we can potentially reach over 1200 students!  Please contact Renae Hesselink if you can help  renae.hesselink@enichols.com or (231) 799-2120
