The project summary is intended to present a concise description of the project in a form useful to a variety of readers who may not be familiar with the topic. I worked at King County Wastewater Treatment Division to organize a historical walking tour of the South Park neighborhood in Seattle. This project was to promote installation of raingardens in the neighborhood and to raise awareness in local history. I used this opportunity to study the use of place-based environmental education in a community.
