The purpose of the festival is to celebrate the Carmel River through art and science and help to educate people on how we can care for the watersheds that sustain our lives. Understanding our place in the Carmel River watershed, and all watersheds, has the potential to bring people together as “watershed citizens” through the common flow of water.
Through various art experiences, fourth grade students from Marina schools learned about what contributes to healthy watersheds and about the Salinas River Watershed in particular. Final projects ranged from creating an Art Creek, painting two river murals and designing images for posters that depict animals of the Salinas River Watershed.
