of the WaterShed Exhibit to a young man and his mother.

Ecommunity is a two-day festival at the Mall of America (Bloomington, Minnesota) that teaches kids and adults about recycling and respecting the environment. Children are given a handbook and encouraged to visit the 12 stations located all around the mall.

The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area hosted the WaterShed Exhibit at station #7.

Hundreds of children and their parents took advantage of the days off from school to enjoy the mall's events.

To ensure that everyone had an understanding of watersheds, people were asked to stand in line. And the line went on, and on, and on...

Once the children interacted with the entire exhibit, they had to answer a few questions from Jill Torres before having their handbook stamped.
