Welcome to the NC Project WET Facilitator's Corner
NC Project WET Facilitators are the heart of Water Education in North Carolina. We are grateful for our facilitators and look forward to continuing our tradition of providing high quality, water-based educational resources for years to come. If you're interested in hosting your own Project WET workshop as a part of your programs, please reach out to Lauren.Daniel@deq.nc.gov.
