The Fox River Story: Watershed Thinking

Welcome to the second episode of The Fox River Story, a Season Two collaboration with Friends of the Fox River.

In today's episode, Erik Anderson and Gary Swick talk about the concept of WATERSHED THINKING, which simply stated is a viewpoint that everyone and everything in the Fox River watershed is connected.

This complicated system of individuals, organizations, and government agencies is unpacked in discussion between Erik and Gary. Additionally, Erik interviews two very involved individuals and picks their brains about the organizations in which they are involved.

NOTE: A special thanks to Tom Slawski and Ders Anderson for their participation.

Please take a moment to consider this . . . There are hundreds of municipalities, counties, states, governmental agencies, and nonprofit organizations interacting with more than a million people living in the Fox River watershed. How does this complicated web of relationships find common ground, shared values, goals, strategies, etc?
 
Todays' podcast scratches the surface of this question. Hopefully, it gets you (and many others) thinking because together we can figure all of this out.
