Gabrielle Plucknette-DeVito The newly established Wayne Harris Delta Environmental Education Endowment Fund will allow RIT to create an environmental education program at the Tait Preserve. The citizen science nonprofit Delta Environmental is establishing a new endowment at Rochester Institute of Technology to create an environmental education program at the Tait Preserve of RIT. Through the Wayne Harris Delta Environmental Education Endowment Fund, RIT will carry on Delta’s mission by incorporating environmental programming and curriculum, as well as forge new relationships with community partners in addition to maintaining partnerships established by Delta. For nearly 50 years, Delta Environmental has promoted environmental awareness and provided water quality-focused environmental education within the local community. Founded by Wayne Harris in 1971 as Delta Laboratories, Delta has evolved from a noted environmental research and activism organization into the Adopt-A-Stream curriculum and water quality educational providers that have supported water quality education in the greater Rochester area for decades.
