The Carrollton Civic Women’s Club recently made a donation to the CCS Education Foundation in support of the district’s STREAM program initiative. The STREAM program is a partnership with C.S. Britton, Inc., a local environmental contracting company, and Carrollton City Schools. The program is designed to expose K-12 students to the fundamentals of stream restoration through lessons centered around Buffalo Creek on the district’s campus. Scott Britton, the company’s owner and brainchild of the partnership, brought the idea to the school district a few years ago with the goal that students become more aware of career options in this under-promoted field. The project has been formally titled the Natural Channel Design/Buffalo Creek Project and introduces students and teachers to scientific tools and analytical skills used in myriad science fields from ecology to hydrology to biology to environmental science.
