Volunteer to protect our water quality and minimize flooding! Keep our storm drains free of leaves and litter.
In this contest, 6th through 12th grade students in Austin and the surrounding area are invited to create a 30-second public service announcement (PSA) sharing the important message: "Turn Around - Don’t Drown®" when you see flooded roads.
A PSA, or Public Service Announcement, is a short announcement created to provide information to the public. PSAs may look and feel different, but they share the same goal: to persuade people to take action and help solve an issue that affects the community.
Want a beautiful Central Texas garden that is good for your pocketbook and the environment?
Dog and cat waste left on the ground is more than smelly and unsightly….it pollutes our water and poses a health risk for pets and people, especially children! Please remember to always Scoop the Poop and to dispose of pet waste properly!
The City of Austin storm drain marking program is a hands-on project for volunteers who are interested in educating the public about pollution prevention.
Watershed Protection’s Youth Education program provides school outreach, field trips, curriculum and service learning opportunities to encourage informed decision-making about choices that impact Austin’s water quality.
