Graphical Abstract
Abstract
Water is a topic that is important for many communities in the arid southwestern United States. One way to address water scarcity and build agency in youth is by providing a framework for how to become watershed caretakers or stewards. The We are Water Patch “Be a Watershed Steward” booklet provides a structured set of watershed restoration principles and simple but effective engagement activities that promote an understanding of the role of local watersheds in providing clean, healthy water. The colorful and engaging booklet outlines the activities that learners complete to earn the We are Water patch.
