The Explore your Watershed Earth Day event is back! Register to receive the exploration maps, discover the secret word and win prizes!
1. Wander Around the Watershed with our Watershed Exploration Challenge
Join the Watershed Exploration Challenge! Explore your watershed through three different courses! Each course has a map and directions that lead you to checkpoints that explain natural and cultural history in the San Francisco Bay Area. Collect letters at each checkpoint to spell a word that you can enter to win a prize! If you aren’t able to wander about your watershed, we have a mapping activity you can do at home as well as an educational trivia challenge! Snap a photo of your adventure and share it on social media! #EarthDayWatershedChallenge
