Showing students that a career protecting land and water is real, reachable, and theirs for the taking.
Many of today’s youth are passionate about pursuing careers in the environmental field, yet they often lack a clear understanding of the paths and opportunities available to them.
Broad Water Innovations addresses this gap by working directly with students, highlighting their potential to take meaningful action in preserving natural resources through ecological restoration — and how both public and private investment play a vital role in protecting our environment’s most valuable assets.
BWI’s education program connects with high-school students in AP and IB Environmental Science courses, offering real-world insight into careers in ecological restoration and stewardship. Throughout the year, we organize panels of industry professionals who visit classrooms, and invite students into the field to experience restored ecological sites firsthand.
If you want to work at a computer building plans for stream and wetland restoration, there is a job for you in this space. If you’d rather throw on your muck boots and do stem counts and monitoring in the field every day, there is a job for you in this space.
Designing restoration plans, modeling watersheds, mapping habitat, and managing the science behind every project.
Muck boots on — running stem counts, monitoring banks, and doing the hands-on work that brings land back to life.

Students on restored ecological sites, seeing stewardship firsthand.
One-on-one guidance for students and educators exploring a path in conservation.
Direct support for students pursuing environmental studies.
Broad Water also helps fund research that advances wetland and stream restoration — putting real resources behind the science that makes this work better.
A $2,500 award for a student pursuing environmental studies and a future in conservation.
The BWI Environmental Studies Scholarship is a $2,500 award from Broad Water Innovations for a student pursuing environmental studies and a future in conservation. Applications are due June 1 each year.
Email jessica@broadwaterinnovations.org with the subject line “BWI Environmental Studies Scholarship” before the June 1 deadline, and Jessica will walk you through the application.
We bring industry professionals into AP and IB Environmental Science classrooms for panels, put students on restored ecological sites for field days, offer one-on-one consultation for students and educators exploring a path in conservation, and fund the annual scholarship. Teachers and students can contact us to bring a program to their school.
