Mapping our Watershed:
The Qualities of Water

Saturday, May 6 from 10am-12pm
FREE!
Ralph Morgan Park, 5 South Avenue
Wyncote 19095

Learn how to assess watershed health and document the visual power of water!

The way water moves and behaves tells us a lot about the health of the watershed. In this workshop, we will observe water through two sets of eyes: as community scientists and as artists.

Join ecological artist (and TTF Streamkeeper) Rebecca Schultz and TTF to use our senses to assess the health of Tookany Creek, and put those senses to work documenting the visual power of water.

Bring a phone with a camera (if you have one) and wear shoes that can get wet or dirty.
FOMO? See you on Saturday, May 13!

Artworks created during the workshop will be incorporated into Mapping Our Watershed, a mixed-media piece by local artist Rebecca Schultz, inspired by the TTF watershed in Cheltenham.
