Career Technical Education Community Health Worker students from Southwest High School recently participated in an immersive educational field experience at the Salton Sea Management Area Restoration Site in collaboration with the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District. The trip aligned with the school’s Project ACE (Air Community Education) initiative, giving students hands-on learning opportunities focused on environmental health and the impacts of air quality on community well-being. During the visit, guided by experts from the Salton Sea Management Area Restoration Program, students explored active restoration efforts designed to reduce dust emissions, improve air quality, and restore natural habitats around the Salton Sea.
