Mapping Our Watershed, a participatory art and community science project taking place in Cheltenham Township will culminate with a free community celebration and pop-up art exhibition, held on Thursday, August 24 from 5:30-7:30pm at High School Park, located at Montgomery Ave & High School Road in Elkins Park, PA. Mapping Our Watershed is led by Elkins Park-based artist and educator Rebecca Schultz. The project aims to increase residents’ connection to and understanding the complex and interconnected ecology of the TTF Watershed. Working in collaboration with the Tookany/Tacony Frankford Watershed Partnership (TTF), the Cheltenham Center for the Arts, and the Friends

The Tookany/Tacony Frankford Watershed is partnering with local artist Rebecca Schultz for a multi-part educational program using arts and community science to learn about our watershed! During this first workshop, participants will learn what a watershed is and how our watershed is connected to all of the other watersheds in the Delaware Basin–and the global water cycle. We will then work together to create a community watershed map! Families and all ages are welcome to join us for this exciting intersection of art and science. The PA Department of Environmental Protection generously funds this project. REGISTRATION REQUIRED
