A multiple day workshop for Extension Agents from southeastern land grant institutions was held in Athens, GA in late May 2010. The workshop highlighted development and land use change issues across watershed and site scales. The workshop content was delivered in multimodal format comprised of a tour, classroom lectures and a half day service learning project. Presenters from a variety of backgrounds discussed opportunities and challenges of preserving and improving water quality at several scales. Scales ranged from broad ranging policy at the watershed scale, which crosses municipal boundaries, down to site based interventions to improve water quality. A field tour of an impaired site and lectures underpinned the service learning component that featured the construction and planting of a bioretention cell at a commercial site. A web based evaluation was administered after the event to workshop participants. The analysis of the respondents relied on non-parametric statistical analysis of selfreported pre and post data to determine any change in awareness. Results indicated a significant increase in awareness of all the topics addressed in the workshop. Respondents also reported overall satisfaction with the workshop. Respondents reported intentions of implementing educational programming based on the new information they acquired at the workshop. This successful educational delivery program could be replicated for other extension professionals to extend scientifically based information to beneficially affect water quality.
