A Simple Question: The Story of STRAW

A Simple Question: the Story of STRAW tells the story of STRAW — Students and Teachers Restoring A Watershed - in an inspiring 35 minute film. In 1992, Laurette Rogers 4th-grade class asked her what they could do to save endangered species? The response was to initiate a class project to restore streams in the Stemple Creek watershed in Marin County in order to save the endangered California Freshwater Shrimp. This remarkable effort evolved into an award-winning regional program that has since restored over 20 miles of habitat, galvanized the local community, and led to significant educational innovations that connect children and their teachers with their local watershed.
