QUEST

This Quest will be a journey, starting with asking questions. Together, we will uncover answers and explore why Minnesota's freshwaters are important. We'll learn about the health of the waterways where you live and what you can do to help them! Your Quest will lead you to designing a project that will make a meaningful difference for freshwater in your community.

E: We'll EXPLORE the species that inhabit Minnesota's waterways and the threats facing them.
S: We'll SOLVE a local problem that is affecting a waterway where you live by designing and doing a project to help.
T: We'll TEACH others about your project, what you have learned, and how they can also help heal their own local freshwater ecosystem!
