Small Communities Stormwater Management Project
An Urban Outreach Specialist position was created in 2007 to work individually with small communities and homeowners to increase the understanding of the causes of stormwater, the consequences of stormwater, and options for managing stormwater.

Environmental Day Camp
Beginning in 2002, the Faribault County SWCD has hosted an annual 5th Grade Environmental Day Camp.  The event brings together around 200 students attending from throughout the county.  The goal of the day is to explore the outdoors by involving students in hands-on learning activities.  The day exposes students to environmental topics that many wouldn't have learned about otherwise.

Students for Environmental Education in Schools (SEEDS)
Under the umbrella of the Peer Helping Program, the Blue Earth Area High School and SWCD have partnered to develop SEEDS.  SEEDS is a group of 10-12 graders who educate their fellow students and the public on environmental topics such as trees, recycling, and Earth Week.
