The Headwaters Natural Resource Center provides a unique opportunity for demonstration of proper natural resource management techniques.
Located within an industrial park and along a major interstate highway, Headwaters Park is the ideal setting for hands-on conservation education.
The Park is managed and staffed by the Erie County Conservation District to work with industrial and public environmental concerns.
The Evirothon is the largest high school environmental program in North America. It is a competitive event, which gives high school students an inside look at the environment in an effort to increase their environmental knowledge and awareness, while teaching them the valuable skills of working as a team.
