MSCR Girls Inc. Summer Showcase – Learn About the Lakes on Tuesday, August 4
Please note that this event is postponed!
The public is invited to view youth-led lake conservation projects and learn about MSCR Girls Inc. programs on Tuesday, August 4, from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Tenney Park John Wall Family Pavilion, 402 N Thornton Ave.
The free public event marks the culmination of a summer program where local youth explored Madison’s lakes and took a hands-on approach to environmental stewardship. As part of the evening’s activities, MSCR Pontoon Drop-in rides will depart from Tenney Park between 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm. Rides are available on a first-come, first-served basis, for $5 per person.
Throughout the summer, participants in the Madison Metropolitan School District’s MSCR Girls Inc. program investigated three major ecological threats to local waters: phosphorus and algae blooms, stormwater runoff and pollution and invasive species. Each cohort developed a final project offering practical solutions for community lake care.
According to Leslie Smith, MSCR Girls Inc. Coordinator, “These outdoor education programs are tailored for girls to build curiosity in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields while fostering leadership skills and community connection.”
Girls Inc. is an international organization dedicated to inspiring girls to be strong, smart and bold. Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR) serves as the public recreation department for the Madison community. Learn more at mscr.org
