Engaging youth in protecting local wildlife

The Waltham Land Trust met last Wednesday at the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation with teens from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Waltham, Watertown and Newton. The participants were invited to brainstorm ways to engage younger people in the WLT’s work to end the use of rat poison that can harm and kill wildlife and outdoor pets. The meeting was organized by the WPS Institute, a local nonprofit that fosters educational innovation and opportunity in the classroom and beyond.
