Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society Water Conservation Project

Zoological Society of the Palm Beaches
Florida

A three-year project, funded by the Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, that improves the Zoo’s water quality, reduces water usage, and provides a water conservation education program for over 900, K-8th students at the Renaissance Charter School at Summit. This project provides an opportunity for a conservation education organization to serve as a working model for an entire neighboring school by showcasing large-scale water conservation and teaching students about water conservation and wildlife through hands-on science activities (i.e.: taking water flow measurements, testing water quality, calculating water usage, and data analysis).
