Watershed Awareness 2020
Annual ICWC Membership Meeting
Annual Meeting where we will present a brief overview of watershed issues and then play the Watershed Game that helps us understand the connection between land use and water quality. Participants will learn how a variety of land uses impact water and natural resources, increase their knowledge of best management practices, and learn how their choices can prevent adverse impacts. Participants apply the tools of plans, practices, and policies that help them achieve clean water goals for protection and restoration while providing for community growth. This activity was developed by University of Minnesota and Sea Grant.
