Explore the river near your house

Do you know where the closest access point to the South Platte River or a stream is from your home? Determine that location and how to stay safe near the river! Pick five things that interest you most in that environment and ask yourself: How did these things get here? People, animals, wind, water? How do these things relate to the river?

After participating in this activity, you should be able to...

• Feel connected to at least one part of the river corridor.

• Practice

• Better "read" local environments by noticing specific details, especially in relation to water.

• Be able to tell others about at that portion of the corridor.

• Guide others in thoughtfully exploring the watershed.
