It's all connected...
A young girl reaches to catch a turtle with a treasure map shell;
A gardener scatters fertilizer to help his lawn grow lush and
green;
Farmers deliver their produce to market;
Volunteers burn a prairie to restore native plants;
Contractors clear land for new houses;
A boy chases his dog through a woods of giant oak trees;
Someone sips a cold glass of water...
Although they may not realize it, these people and their
actions are connected. They share a network of land and
water; they are part of an ecosystem called the watershed.
