The Clean Water Education Partnership uses a variety of means to educate the public about the
importance of watershed stewardship, including mass media and direct education outreach. CWEP’s mass media efforts include various cinema, internet, and radio campaigns. You can check out our “What We’re Doing” page to find out more about our messages in your area, but if you’re looking for tools you can use on your own to educate your friends and neighbors, you’ve come to the right spot! These materials are great for both kids and adults. They are also available in Spanish here.
You’ll need Adobe Reader to view the .pdf files; if you need to download this free software please click here.
We will be working on updating these materials very soon, so please check back often for new releases!

Slicks
Slicks are pre-made ads for newspapers that promote our website and remind citizens that what they put on their yards ends up in our waterways. Slicks are generally run simply as filler when a newspaper has a little extra space.
