Kenai Watershed Forum Announces
$15,000 in Environmental Education Sub-Award Grants!
Applications are being accepted now! Thanks to support from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we’re offering approximately $15,000 in sub-grants to bring hands-on watershed education to K-12 students through our acclaimed Adopt-A-Stream program.
Applications are due to Education Specialist Brandon Gustafson at education@kenaiwatershed.org by April 4th, 2026. See the RFP and application for more information.
Adopt-A-Stream
Adopt-A-Stream has been building connections between children and their environment since 1990, making it one of the longest-running place-based environmental education programs in the state of Alaska.
Kenai Peninsula Borough School District students participate in hands-on lessons relating to watershed management, salmon habitat, macroinvertebrates, water quality monitoring, and stream ecology, making real world connections to the watershed they live in.
On average, 10 classrooms are visited each month, with additional in person field excursions to streams monthly as conditions allow.
Generous Contributions Make Adopt-A-Stream Possible!
Salmon Celebration
Kenai Watershed Forum has participated in the Salmon Celebration since it first began! Educational stations are set up for groups of kids to transition to to learn all about salmon, water and our environment. Classrooms who have been raising baby salmon see their precious charges released to the wild.
River Table Programs
Thanks to a partnership with Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the River Table is currently visiting locations free of charge throughout the Kenai Peninsula Borough. To request a River Table visit to your event or classroom, visit our River Table page.
