For more information, visit www.cfwep.org.

BERKELEY PIT IN YOUR CLASSROOM:
The Berkeley Pit is one of the most studied pit lakes in the world (See the October 2000 News & Notes article, "Berkeley Pit is the Olympics of Testing Treatment Technology"). As a result, there are many opportunities to use the Berkeley Pit in your classroom as a teaching tool. Contact us and we can help you turn the Berkeley Pit into a research project for your classes.

SCIENCE FAIR & THE BERKELEY PIT:
When it's time to pick a project for next year's science fair, be sure to consider ideas about the Berkeley Pit. Our Advisory Committee is offering awards for projects related to the Berkeley Pit and mine waste cleanup. Savings Bonds are awarded for the best project in each grade from 5th through 8th, and for the best project among high school students. It's all part of the Montana Tech Science Expo. Good luck with your project.
