Lowell High School TREES & Environmental Adventure students have been hard at work throughout this school year as the organizers and planners of the 2nd annual student-led Environmental Youth Conference.

Inspired by the success of last year’s first-ever Lowell environmental youth conference, our oldest Lowell Leaders in Stewardship students brought together groups from within Lowell and throughout the Merrimack River watershed, including Concord-Carlisle High School, Chelmsford High School, YWCA Lowell, OffBeet Compost, and the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge.

The theme of the conference the students chose this year was Taking Action: Thinking Globally; Acting Locally. The conference featured workshops and interactive “table talks” where students where able to explore different ways that they can act in their everyday lives to have a positive impact on their communities.

We are so proud of the all their hard work and dedication in planning this conference. Thank you to all the community partners that came out to support the students!
