Nutrien is a leader in an environmental education program called, Caring for our Watersheds (CFW). CFW asks youth to submit an essay proposal that answers the question, “What can you do to improve your watershed?” Students research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern and come up with a realistic solution. Cash rewards are given to participating schools, clubs and students. The success of the program is attributed to turning the student’s ideas into action. Community partners from around the world have joined together to mentor, inspire and guide students. Nutrien offers implementation funding and has contributed to over 534 projects to date.
