Once Upon a Watershed
is a program of the CREW
Telling the Story of Our Watershed Through Exploration, Education, and Stewardship
Kindergarten - 'Once Upon A Watershed'
For children in local Kindergarten classes, OUW introduces our youngest residents to the concept of a watershed and the importance of their ecological address. We make their environment relatable through Dianne Bennett’s book “Once Upon a Watershed”, which illustrates native plants and animals of the Ventura River Watershed.



Through a song-guided activity, the children both learn and experience their local environment. This program is run both indoors and outdoors, along the Ventura River Watershed.
