Educators, please join us for an NC CATCH workshop (Caring for Aquatics Through Conservation Habits). We will use the CATCH curriculum guide to explore ways to teach about aquatic environments through fish biology, outdoor ethics, water safety, and fishing skills. Educators will receive the CATCH guidebook and student workbooks. Techniques and activities are geared for children ages 8 to 15. Educators who attend a workshop will receive the CATCH activity guide and qualify for CEU credits, training hours, or NC Environmental Education Certification credits.

Admission: $15.00 per participant. Payment should be made through this form. 

Credits Options:  6 hours of credit towards Criteria I, II, III, or CE credits available, as well as CEU credits.

Bring: Participants must bring lunch, water, and any other personal items for being outdoors. We are working with the weather, so plan accordingly.

Haw River Assembly Background
The Haw River Assembly is a 501(c)(3) non-profit citizens’ group founded in 1982 to restore and protect the Haw River and Jordan Lake and build a watershed community that shares this vision. Our goals are to promote environmental education, conservation, and pollution prevention, advocate for the river in the public arena, and provide people with the tools and knowledge they need to be effective river guardians.
