Field Trips
EMWD’s Education program offers field trips for students in grade levels 3-12 from the 11 school districts and private schools within its service area. The 3-hour tour of EMWD’s Hemet/San Jacinto Regional Water Reclamation Facility and Wetlands is limited to a maximum of 35 students, with a requirement of four chaperones and one teacher. All teachers (new and returning) are required to attend and stay for a 90-minute field trip workshop.
The 2018/2019 tour season is completely booked at this time.
Bird Walks
Join EMWD for a Bird Walk and share the opportunity to view hundreds of ibises, egrets, blackbirds and many other migratory and resident birds in their natural habitat at the EMWD Wetlands.
Located on the grounds of the San Jacinto Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility, the multi-purpose constructed wetlands “polishes” recycled water before it is distributed to nearby farms, dairies and the San Jacinto Wildlife Area for irrigation and additional environmental uses.
Bird Walks are hosted on the fourth Saturday of each month, October through April.
Science Projects
Water and water resources offer a rich opportunity for science fair projects. EMWD has developed a guide that students may use to assist them with their science fair projects.
The Water Cycle
The water cycle describes how the Earth’s water is not only always changing forms, between liquid (rain), solid (ice)and gas (vapor), but also moving on, above and in the Earth. This process is always happening everywhere.
