A Culture of Conservation: We All Have a Place in the Watershed

Our watersheds are dynamic and unique places. They are complex webs of natural resources - soil, water, air, plants, animals and people. All living organisms have a place in the watershed. It is our responsibility to secure its ecological and economic health for all generations.

This video defines watersheds, shows how we interact within them, and emphasizes the importance of protecting our natural resources on a watershed basis.

Created to accompany the video series, these two publications serve as additional resources for educating youth about the importance of our natural resources.
