On Saturday, March 4th at 10am, play the Watershed Game (Lake Version) in the Winona Public Library’s Bell Art Room. It is free to participate but registration is required.
What is the Watershed Game (WSG)? “The Watershed Game is an active, hands-on simulation that helps groups learn how land use impacts water quality and natural resources. While making management choices about land use, participants learn about practices, plans, and policies that improve and protect the quality of a stream, lake or river. The object of this team-building simulation is to use limited financial resources to reduce excess sediment and/or phosphorus to levels that meet a clean water goal. The Lake Version concentrates on land uses surrounding a typical lake.” – Minnesota Sea Grant and University of Minnesota Extension University of Minnesota – Duluth
