Lakeview, Oregon
A local question.
A useful project.
ODL connects civic, school, and conservation conversations in Lakeview to shape practical learning around local priorities.
The purpose
Build skills
where life
happens.
Connect classroom learning with water, habitat, measurement, and the systems around us.
The Director reports support from Lakeview’s city council president. The local delivery pathway brings school and community participation into a written pilot scope with authorized contacts, a schedule, and clear responsibilities.
ODL’s work with the Lake County Watershed Council and conservation-learning contacts provides a foundation for local coordination.
