| H2Oh! on the GO! |
| The District partnered with the Colcom Foundation, the Carnegie Science Center and EQT Corporation to build an educational interactive traveling exhibit to promote the importance of conserving of our natural resources. |

| How can wind affect water quality? The wind erodes unstable earth and loose soils get carried to our streams by rain water. Sediment deposits form in the streams which can harm the aquatic life. You can simulate a wind storm and see how loose soil gets moved across a farm setting in our H2Oh on the Go! |
| Armstrong Conservation District has launched a new conservation project for the county and other rural counties within the Ohio River Watershed: H2Oh! on the Go! Mobile Environmental Display (MED) – a traveling exhibit, modeled after Carnegie Science Center’s popular H2Oh! Why Our Rivers Matter exhibit, consisting of a trailer and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle designed to educate the public about our valuable natural resources. The Mobile Environmental Display is an education and outreach project intended to reach all age groups over a diversity of educational venues including community event locations, schools, and other public facilities. |
| Funded by Colcom Foundation with additional funding provided by EQT Corporation for the CNG tow vehicle, visitors to the MED will be able to interact with 10 displays for hands-on scientific enrichment that focus primarily on water education and conservation. |
| The MED is available from April until October. |
| See how waves are formed! Come visit the H2OH! On the Go! |

| Armstrong Conservation District has a conservation project for the county and other rural counties within the Ohio River Watershed: H2Oh! On the Go! Mobile Environmental Display (MED) – a traveling exhibit, modeled after Carnegie Science Center’s popular H2Oh! Why Our Rivers Matter exhibit, consisting of a trailer and a compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle. The MED is an education and outreach project intended to reach all age groups through a diversity of educational venues. EQT Corporation provided funding through a grant opportunity to purchase a tow vehicle which was converted to CNG. This dual fuel vehicle will educate participants about natural gas characteristics and its low threat to land and water. |

| Provided through a generous grant from the Colcom Foundation, visitors to the MED will be able to interact with 10 displays for hands-on scientific enrichment that will focus primarily on water education and conservation. The 10 displays, developed by Carnegie Science Center include: |
|
• Water Quiz Game – A touch screen activity challenges the public to answer questions about water resources. |
| The MED is available free to Armstrong County events and organizations, but there is a fee for outside of Armstrong County. |
| For questions and answers or to schedule a date and time for your school, community, or association event contact the MED Administrator Laura Sue Stewart at 724-545-3601 or email |
