Munising, MI – On Thursday, August 1st, educators who work with students in grades 6 through 12 are invited to attend “Exploring Water”, an educators’ workshop at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Lessons are correlated with the Michigan Science Education Standards.
Teachers participating in the workshop will receive the Healthy Water Healthy People (HWHP) Water Quality Educators Guide and the HWHP Field Monitoring Guide (a $35 value) upon completion of the day’s activities.
