The recent rains have made a mess of downed logs and flooding, but look closer, there is another problem. Trash! Every little white speck you see in this picture is a piece of aquatic trash that washed into this local wetland! We do our best with cleanups and raising awareness, but as you can see, this isn't a small problem. Just think of all the trash that didn't get stranded and washed downstream! #marinedebris #aquaticlitter #trashproblems

We are super excited about our third annual Kick Off Party on March 28 from 10-12:30! It will feature the Greensboro EcoBus, the Stormwater SMART mobile classroom with their friends from Sesame Street, education, exploration and more! It is free, family and pet friendly and sure to be a ball! Won't you come join us?

It is COMING DOWN! Be safe friends!!

There is a LOT going on today; groundhogs, footballs Superb Owls, but it is also #worldwetlandsday! This day is important to us because wetlands are vital to our ecosystem! The wetland pictured may not look like much, but it is a vernal pool that is an important breeding ground for Spring Peepers and a few salamander species. Next time you see a wetland be thankful for it, they support lots of life AND they act as filters for our local creeks, lakes and rivers, pulling out bad things like pollution before they can get in our waterways. #loveyourwetlands

What a beautiful day at the trout pond at Lake Higgins! The trout are made possible by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and you can fish for them until they are all caught or the weather gets too warm; whichever comes first. License required, contact Lake Higgins for more pricing and regulation information.

On a cold day like today, it's easy to daydream about a tropical beach vacation. But wait...what's that? A spoon? Remember that plastic waste can make its way to our oceans and beaches and even a little thing can travel a long way! #plasticwaste #marinedebris #keepthebeachesclean #onlyraindownthedrain
