The River’s in Our Hands

Join us to explore how water turbidity impacts plants and animals living in the river. Take part in a storytime and learn how plastic pollution affects wildlife. Debunk common environmental myths at our mythbusters station, and test your knowledge in a fun stacking game to learn more about recycling.
