Who is Fox-Wolf?

Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance is a local nonprofit protecting and restoring the Fox & Wolf River Basins. We partner with schools, communities, and leaders to keep our lakes and rivers clean for everyone.

Water connects classroom learning to real life. Students see how daily choices affect local rivers and lakes and leave with simple actions they can take at school and at home.

“Students explore, predict, test, and leave as caretakers of our water.”

We bring the experience to you

We set up interactive models your students can touch, test, and analyze.
