School Programs
Thousands of students from every year participate in education programs with Ohio River Foundation. Students climb into rivers to study fish, macroinvertebrates, and water quality through our River Explorer Program. They learn about their local watersheds and aquatic ecology through our in-school Wonderful Watersheds Program. And they learn about, design and install rain gardens through the School Rain Garden Program.

Testimonials
Over the years we have received hundreds of thank yous from students and teachers who have participated in our programs. Here is a small sampling:
"I would like to thank you once again for the wonderful experience
yesterday at Sharon Creek. I had multiple students say "this was the
most worth while field trip they EVER had gone on". Not one student
had a negative comment about the experience. Thank you for making the
science come alive and important to every day life. You and your
staff were excellent.
I would like to schedule a trip in the fall and a trip in the
spring, next year..."

“The Ohio River Foundation’s River Explorer field trips have been fantastic! Water pollution, fresh water habitat, and human impact on the environment are just of the few topics that overlap our Ohio Standards. My students have a great time getting wet fishing, searching under rocks for macro invertebrates, and testing the chemical make-up of the water. The stations are very well run by knowledgeable educators. This day is “hands-on” learning at its finest.
Thank you for laying a great foundation for my students at the start of the school year.”
