This initiative draws on interpersonal interactions in the school environment to raise awareness amongst children about environmental issues - and the responsibility they have in understanding and protecting ecosystems. EC, which is based in St. Michaels, Maryland (MD) in the US, sends its educators to various US schools to involve students in a process that is co-related to each state's curriculum. In each session, Wetland educators present concepts of adaptations through evolution, using bright colours to engage the students. The participants are taught about concepts such as marshes, bogs, swamps, and what is required to sustain life in the wetlands. Entertainment is used to engage the pupils; one demonstration at a Cambridge, MD, elementary school featured a "fun demonstration" about the importance of physical adaptations for wetlands and for humans alike. Students also get involved in these demonstrations.
