Pomona, MO. – SCOCOG, or the South Central Ozark Council of Governments, has received a $100,000 grant from the EPA, with even more from the South Solid Waste Management District for a total of $133,000. This money is being put towards a set of classes this Spring on educating area students on Karst and watersheds, strong features of the Ozarks.
Tegan Vaughn spoke to us on this project and seemed excited to reveal this to the public. She stated that these projects will use hands-on methods to teach children about water quality, and the effects of Karst and watersheds on the local water.
The first class will be taking place on April 29th and 30th, and the second will take play later this year in July on the 25th and 26th. In assistance with these classes will be Mary Ann Mutrux, a figure who has extensive experience in earth science and education.
These workshops are open to any class in grades 4-12 within our listening area.
To register for these workshops, visit https://karstintheozarks.org/. Deadlines are April 15th for the first class and July 11th for the second.
