The Kishwaukee Watershed
This is a video of the Kishwaukee Watershed made around 1995 in John Fleener’s Summit School first grade classroom. Besides being a teacher, John is also a talented filmmaker at Willow Tree Studios. This video is standard definition, but it is so amazing to watch the enthusiasm of the kids and the wealth of life in the Kishwaukee River, which is still a Class A river today. Enjoy!
