Hello <<First Name>>,

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Wild Rose Education has a lot to be grateful for this year. Much of this success is due to strong relationships with colleauges, collaborators, partners, and other visionary creative people and institutions like yourselves. For this I say thank you.

Most recently, the Youth Water Leadership Program and Summit was a notable and inspiring success with more than 80 students coming together for a water mini-conference. Read more about it below and also download the report here

Looking ahead into 2018, I look forward to continuing to work with so many talented colleauges who are also striving for excellence. Please keep Wild Rose Education in mind for: 
  • facilitating meetings and workshops,
  • developing a Youth Water Summit in your watershed,
  • sharing community engagement guidelines for excellence,
  • teaching educators how to integrate environmental education best practices (especially interdisciplinary watershed topics) into their curriculum and programming and, 
  • creating inspiring creative effective and impactful possibilities we haven't yet thought of.
Stay in touch via facebook; see news updates on the blog; watch videos on youtube; view photos on flikr; or just let me know when you'd like to meet in person for coffee or schedule a phone or video call. I look forward to working with you soon. 

May you be blessed with lasting joy during this holiday season and throughout the coming year. 

Take care,
Sarah R. Johnson, MAEd
Founder and Principal of Wild Rose Education

The Youth Water Summit is a participant-driven educational conference for youth produced by Wild Rose Education for Pitkin County Healthy Rivers and Streams creating an opportunity for learning, dialogue, and action on Colorado River Basin issues. 7-12th grade students participated and local policy makers, water resource professionals and community members attended to hear the students' proposed action plans for local watershed issues.
