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
