“The goal of this project is to increase accessibility and public interest in the Levee Loop Trail surrounding the Brodhead Creek in the East Stroudsburg. We hope to revive it by introducing an educational quest that sends participants to all five of the attached parks. Their mission will be to collect totems of native organisms that contribute to a thriving ecosystem, to restore balance to the land. The totems will be collected via crayon rubbing in booklets provided by us. The crayon rubbing plates will be designed in a mythical art style and cast in epoxy resin, then placed around the parks with information signs. The booklets will contain riddles or clues that guide the players from one location to the next and link all of the creatures to the ecosystem through storytelling or poetry. When the player has collected all of the totems, they can redeem them for a prize at their local community cents or at PEEC.”
