Channel 2 Covers Student Water Festival at UMaine

Channel 2 (WLBZ) covered the 2012 Northern Maine Children’s Water Festival held Tuesday at UMaine. The event, which is sponsored by the university in conjunction with the Maine Center for Disease Control, Verso Paper and Maine Department of Environmental Protection, is designed to creatively educate school students about the importance of clean water and healthy habitats, and also provide teachers with materials and lessons they can take back to their classrooms. More than 700 students and teachers from 15 middle and elementary schools from northern and central Maine participated.
