introduction

Beginning Your QUEST

This Quest will be a journey of asking questions. Together, we will uncover answers and explore what a watershed is, and what's going on with the Hackensack River Watershed specifically. We'll learn what threatens watersheds and what you can do to help them! This Quest will lead you to design a project that makes a meaningful difference for your watershed and community.

There will be five stages of this Quest

  • Q: You'll ask QUESTIONS about what we know, need to know, and what you can do to help your watershed.
  • U: You'll UNCOVER answers to questions about what watersheds are, what threatens them, and how you can protect them.
  • E: You'll EXPLORE the health, history, and culture of your specific watershed.
  • S: You'll design and implement a project to help SOLVE a local problem that is affecting your watershed.
  • T: You'll TEACH others about your project, what you have learned, and how others can also help out as well!
