Education

As part of IEUA’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the Agency offers educational programs and takes part in community outreach. These activities focus on water supply, renewable resources and environmental sustainability.

IEUA invests in our future generations and provides a range of programs offered to kindergarten through twelfth grade students. These programs include: Water Discovery Field Trips to the Chino Creek Wetlands and Educational Park, Garden in Every School® Program (GIES), educational assemblies for children, Solar Cup competition, and more.

Garden in Every School®

The goal of the GIES Program is to educate students and the community about water-wise usage through a garden landscape featuring low water-use plants and efficient irrigation. During FY 2018/19, IEUA awarded three $4,500 grants to St. George Parish School (Ontario), Hillside High School (Upland) and Valley View High School (Ontario). The grant program reached a total of 766 students and 70 teachers. GIES will implement new school gardens for FY 2019/20.
