Service Learning in Action: Youth Conservation School Improves Chesapeake Bay Watershed

EarthEcho International highlights the positive impact young people have on the environment through service learning. Philippe Cousteau joins students from the Lancaster County Youth Conservation School, who improved the Chesapeake Bay watershed by installing a log deflector to enhance stream health. Students reflect on their increased awareness of pollution and the significant impact of their efforts. They share their inspiration for joining the project and discuss future actions to protect the environment. The video emphasizes the importance of community involvement and the responsibility to spread awareness about environmental conservation.
