Educational Engagement Indicator
The Educational Engagement indicator seeks to showcase opportunities provided to the community to learn about the health and function of the Yampa River as well as its ecosystem services. Opportunities to learn about the river can be articles in the paper, K-12 curriculum, interpretive materials, nonprofit outreach, etc.
This indicator will not be measured or scored and will not affect the scores presented in the scorecard report.
