Chesapeake Bay Education Partners and the Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) Office of Science and Family Life Education
The Chesapeake Bay Education Partners (which includes the Alice Ferguson Foundation, the George Mason University Potomac Environmental Research and Education Center, Manassas National Battlefield, Occoquan Bay U.S. Fish and Wildlife Refuge, and Prince William Forest National Park) work together to support Prince William County’s environmental education program, “From the Mountains to the Estuary: From the Schoolyard to the Bay.” The partnership provides meaningful watershed experiences for thousands of students, aligned with existing curriculum objectives already taught in the classroom. (The partnership was nominated by Joy Greene, E.A.G.L.E. project coordinator.)
