a larger conservation strategy aimed at long-term sustainability of our water resources here

the Water Authority. This educator will be responsible for leading 1-2 field trips per week.
Field trips run from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and meet at the following specified locations where

materials needed. The educator will work as part of a team and will be expected to attend
occasional trainings, meetings, and collaborative planning sessions. The position would be
