The Hood College Center for Coastal and Watershed Studies has been awarded a $214,000 grant for a three-year pilot education program in Frederick County Public Schools.
The program is called “Project STEM: Schoolyard Thermal Evaluation and Mitigation” and will employ schoolyards as sites to monitor and assess the impacts of thermal pollution on local stream health. The grant was made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Bay-Watershed Education and Training program (NOAA B-WET).
