Natural Resource Escape Room
The SKC Natural Resource Escape Room was launched in March for the CSKT & SKC Earth Day Event. This educational initiative was designed to promote environmental awareness and conservation efforts. Participants were challenged to complete puzzles and riddles to uncover clues in Forestry, Fire, Hydrology, wildlife, and Fisheries. USGS, WWF, and NASA played a crucial role in designing interactive maps and assisting in running the escape room activities.
