Conserve & Learn: Every Drop Counts
The Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District wants to invite families to visit The Ditch Water Discovery Center and learn more about groundwater! During this hands-on event, we will explore how much freshwater is available on Earth, where our water comes from, and why every drop matters. Through a fun and interactive "A Drop in a Bucket" demonstration, participants will gain a better understanding of water scarcity and conservation.
Families will take home a water-themed activity book so the learning can continue!
After the session, we invite families to take time to enjoy our native, sustainable environment at The Ditch as we walk and talk about our plant life and water conservation systems.
Ages invited: 3-11 years old (families are asked to remain with their children for the duration of the event)
Cost: Free
