A watershed is the land that drains into a body of water. The land in front of you is a forested watershed. That's important because rain falling on a dirt road will end up as a mud puddle, but rain falling on a forested slope will end up as clear streams.

This land is also a protected watershed. That's important because rain falling on developed land can pick up chemicals, animal waste and other trash, but rain falling on underdeveloped land stays free of contaminants. That's why Greenville's 19th-century leaders set aside this land to guarantee clean water.
