Through education, outreach and volunteerism, we connect people to nature and inspire a community conservation ethic.
The North Shore Land Alliance Long Island Water Education Program is designed and implemented for fourth, fifth and six grade students to understand where their drinking water comes from, the values of our ground and surface water resources and how they are threatened, and how land conservation and stewardship can protect them.

LIWEP Overview
Long Island Water Education Program has reached more than 15,000 students across Long Island.
If your school would like to participate in the Long Island Water Education Program and provide students with engaging, hands-on environmental learning experiences, please contact us at liwep@northshorelandalliance.org.
