OzGREEN are currently running a series of MyRiver Programs in the Mid North Coast Area.
Each of these schools were actively involved with Youth Leading the World 2012 (YLTW) and as a result were given the opportunity to take part in this program which teaches the kids water testing and how this reflects the health of the water systems around their school community. Based on the results each school will put in place action plans to address issues uncovered and present their projects at YLTW 2013.
