Participants discover and explore the various systems and components of watersheds on the pristine South Llano River. The workshop features an interdisciplinary format using scientific field methods and tools, along with best practice teaching methods developed by the TTU Llano River Field Station, Outdoor School Staff.

Topics include GIS™ mapping, basic hydrology including water cycle, watersheds, topography, and human effects, and life adaptations near water. Integrated watershed protocols, ecology, scientific method, and inquiry-based–based learning are part of this hands–on field learning experience. Garden studies of hummingbird foraging styles comprise a special phenological component.
