While snow was falling and the ground was covered in ice last month, we were dreaming of liquid water — lakes, creeks, watersheds. Ken Eklund was in town to workshop our concept for the Big Watershed Game, a project we’re creating in partnership with him and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and with funding from a Bush Foundation Community Innovation Grant.

In order to further develop our ideas for the game, we invited local watershed experts, game designers, and experiential educators to a couple feedback sessions to give us their thoughts on what an epic, fun, landscape-based watershed game should look like. We had excellent discussions and came away with some new ideas for what the game will look like.

Stay tuned for more information on the Big Watershed Game, coming to a watershed near you this September.
