In 1996 we developed a prototype multimedia project with the Department of Interior and Bureau of Land Management to demonstrate that 360 degree panoramas, audio-video sequences, still images and text could describe natural resource projects in ways that had not been done by the Federal Government before. Six collaborative watershed groups in the western states were chosen for this prototype. This successful project was completed in 1998 on a CD-ROM and titled "The Aurora Project- Community Watershed Partnerships."
In 2000 the U.S. Forest Service was involved in helping Watershed Community Groups who had a history of restoring large scale watersheds in the United States. With the Aurora Project as a model, some of these watersheds worked with Mountain Visions and the National Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils to obtain a matching grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and from various watershed partners. Today, we are still producing material for five of these Interactive Watersheds projects.
