A watershed is the area of land where all of the water that is under or upon it drains into the same place.
A warrior is one who is engaged aggressively or energetically in an activity, cause, or conflict.
Watershed Warriors are students who are actively and energetically learning about the Yellowstone Watershed and how to protect it. They are stewards of our ecosystem.

Watershed Warriors:
Our Mission
Just as the Yellowstone River and its tributaries are threaded through the physical landscape of the Livingston area, they are threaded throughout the economic and cultural aspects of the lives of its residents. The mission of the Watershed Project is to provide hands-on, place-based, real-life applications to school subjects while bestowing stewardship of and access to a common thread in our landscape and culture. Watershed education occurs in each 5th grade classroom throughout the entire school year.
This program includes…
-tying flies to imitate Yellowstone Watershed aquatic macro invertebrates
-identifying Yellowstone River's aquatic macro invertebrates as indicator species of water health
-classifying native and non-native fish of the Yellowstone Watershed
-understanding historical and scientific context in which fish were introduced to the Yellowstone Watershed
-identifying sources of Aquatic Nuisance Species of the Yellowstone Watershed
-educating others to “Inspect, Clean, and Dry” their gear for watershed health to protect again invasive species
-classifying live aquatic macro invertebrates from the Yellowstone River using a dychodimous key
-applying food web knowledge to the health of the watershed
-learning to select flies when fishing through the scientific process
-identifying the physical properties of water and applying them to life cycles and fishing
-testing physical and chemical water properties to determine quality using a Yellowstone River sample.
-applying human impact concepts to watershed health. This includes using current, informational text in regards to local perspectives of species.
-identifying water systems throughout Livingston that drain to the Yellowstone River
-applying concepts of potential and kinetic energy to casting a fly rod
-participating in discussions with local scientists
-dissecting farmed fish to identify body systems and compare/contrast them to human body systems
-researching local issues to develop informed opinions based on evidence
