For Teachers

Education is a key component to protecting Sebago Lake and the surrounding habitats. The Portland Water District and area educators work together to help foster environmentally responsible and knowledgeable citizens. Through collaboration and sharing of resources, PWD works to be a valuable asset to educators.  Below are PWD programs available to support teachers with their water-related education and curriculum.  Please contact the education coordinator with questions or to find out how to create a partnership with the Portland Water District.
