Watershed Heroes and Villains

In this activity, you will create character profiles of watershed heroes and villains. Base their profiles on the conditions of a healthy watershed and the effects of human activity and pollution on watersheds. You can share your heroes and villains profiles with other students, staff, and community members to inform them about threats to watersheds and what humans can do to help.

Print off the Character Bio activity sheets. You will create profiles of at least one watershed hero and one watershed villain. Each profile should include a drawing of the character, a brief biography, the character’s superpowers, and hobbies. 

*See the example of Cruella De Bag, explaining each of the sections you will need to complete.

Here are the other characters you may choose from:

• Polly Styra (Styrofoam)

• Six-pack Strangler (six-pack ring)

• Dr. Native/Professor Invasive (invasive plants)

• Mike Roe Trash (microtrash)

• Cruella De Bag (plastic trash)

Your heroes and villains can be on land or in the water, from any watershed around the world. These characters can be realistic or imaginary, and the watershed hero could be the student too, because they have learned how to be a watershed hero.
