In project "Water is Wealth: Improving the Condition of Water Reservoirs" at the Centre Environmental Education Centre, a Voluntary Water Monitoring Centre is being established.

Educational furniture made of solid wood was delivered to CEE's headquarters oak. This is another important element of the hall's equipment. The newly delivered furniture has been designed to optimize the conditions for research and teaching work. The central point of the equipment are oak laboratory tables with tops with specialized educational purpose.

The delivery of furniture is the culmination of the process of retrofitting the facility, which has already specialized laboratory and didactic equipment.

The establishment of the Voluntary Water Monitoring Centre is an important part of the activities undertaken to protect Lake Ełk. Participation in classes will allow students to independently diagnose the state of the ecosystem of Lake Ełk, which directly translate into an increase in environmental awareness and shaping the pro-environmental attitudes among the young generation.
