Friday, Feb. 22, is the deadline to register for Partners for Clean Streams\u2019 17th annual Youth Patch Day Workshop.<\/p>\n

The event will be held Sunday, March 3, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at The University of Toledo\u2019s Lake Erie Center, 6200 Bayshore Road in Oregon. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Patch Day Workshop is open to second- through fifth-grade students interested in learning about conservation, as well as Cub Scouts or Girl Scouts seeking to fulfill merit and environmental badge requirements. <\/p>\n

\u201cOutreach efforts such as Patch Day are meaningful because they bring many organizations together to collaborate on a program that is really meaningful for students,\u201d said Rachel Lohner, education program manager at the Lake Erie Center. \u201cWe work hard to create a theme and content that will interest a broad range of kids. These types of programs are great to inspire students and teach them to respect the world around them.\u201d <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s workshop theme is \u201cHabitats\u201d and will feature presenters from the city of Oregon, the city of Perrysburg, Wood Soil & Water Conservation District, Lucas Soil & Water Conservation District, the UT Lake Erie Center, and Black Swamp Bird Observatory. In addition, there will be hands-on activities.<\/p>\n

This program is an excellent way for youth and their leaders to learn more about their roles in protecting the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spark a love of the environment by offering youth fun and hands-on educational activities from an early age,\u201d Lohner said. \u201cIt only takes one person to connect with a student to inspire him or her to go on and do something really great.\u201d <\/p>\n

Registration can be done online at the Partners for Clean Streams website<\/a>. Cost is $5 per participant and must be paid prior to the event.<\/p>\n
