2020 River Watch Forum Assignment
Celebrating 25 Years of River Watch
20/20: A clear vision for the Red River Basin
1
The Project
To complete our watershed education toolbox – we needed help from River Watch! Grades K-3 and adults are currently not involved in our watershed education programming. It’ was up to them to develop an activity that engages a specified group (K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Graders or Adults) in their subwatershed and the Red River Basin.

The Process
– Choose an already identified educational gap in the topic area of watersheds (K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Graders or Adults).
– Demonstrate the need for a program with the chosen target audience
– Create a list of objectives/outcomes that their program would achieve
-Build an educational program to meet those objectives
– Partner with a classroom teacher, community group, or other entity to conduct their educational program

The Deliverables
The teams were then responsible for creating a video of the presentation of their educational program and a handout that served as advertisment to be hung around school or in the communities.
These plans were already made before COVID-19, so it made it easy for us to shift to virtual!
Due to COVID-19, the 25th River Watch Forum was canceled.
To share the results of the Forum Project Competition, a series of videos was shared to our Facebook page throughout the first week of May 2020.
