While this may look like a fun day kayaking with friends, these educators represent three different counties — Middlesex, Gloucester and Mathews —participating in a three-day professional in-service program, Dragon Run Environmental Academy Mentorship (DREAM).

The program was sponsored by the Friends of the Dragon Run. DREAM was made possible in part through a generous grant from Dominion Energy, reported Anne Adkins.

Teachers Stephanie Sowers, Stephanie Bowen, Jennifer Patterson, Natalie Fleet, Natalie Smith and Judy Green explored the Dragon Run watershed in kayaks, by foot on hiking trails and conducted water quality experiments.
