The Tuolumne River Trust is offering a free presentation called "That's the Tuolumne in My Tap!" to 4th and 5th grade classes in San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties - areas that get a major portion of their tap water from the Tuolumne River.
The presentation introduces students to the source of their tap water in hopes of fostering interest in water conservation and good stewardship of natural resources. A slideshow takes the class on a tour of the Tuolumne River, highlighting the wildlife it supports, a bit of history of the Hetch-Hetchy water system, and an overview of some current threats to the river. This is followed by a lively discussion about all the ways we use water, and how we can conserve it in order to protect the River.
