Let’s give a shoutout to our superstar Drexel Co-op, Cam! ⭐️ Today would have been the last day of Cam’s co-op, but luckily, we get to keep her on board until spring! 👏

Cam does nothing but put her best foot forward -always eager to offer a helping hand or learn more about a new topic. She has been such a pleasure to work with and we are so happy to have her on our education team. We appreciate you, Cami 💖 Thank you for your amazing work, positive attitude, and passion for the field 🌎 ✨ 🌱 🐟

We are very excited to have John Brady back for our upcoming “Walk and Talks,” with the first one next Saturday, September 26!

First, we’ll connect with John to learn more about his creative process in making Walking the Schuylkill, and then we will take a short 10-15 minute walk to take our own photos right along the river.

Did you guess the lie? Thanks ISEPTAPHILLY for giving us this idea!

We had so much fun at Philly Fish Fest today!!! Thanks to everyone who came by our table! It was awesome to connect with our partners across Philadelphia Water Dept. , Schuylkill Banks and Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission 🩵 🎣 💧🏙️

As we settle back into work this week, we are certainly missing Chris at the front desk as she starts a new chapter in her career. Chris welcomed every visitor to the center with a smile and brought such a positive energy to our team. We wish her nothing but the best in her next chapter. 💫 💫 💫

Thanks for all of your hard work, Chris!

Water bar made a real SPLASH today ! Did you know that Philly tap water Exceeds EPA standards for drinking water ? These folks do!

CONGRATULATIONS, JAY 👏 👏 👏

If you’ve been following us or have visited us this summer, you might know of Jay Byrd —he is an exceptional talent and passionate environmental educator that we have been lucky to have on our team as an AWE fellow (Alliance for Watershed Ed ) and educator through (LGO123 ). For nearly 2 years, Jay’s work has successfully connected communities to our watershed in various ways, most recently with the feat of constructing and installing a floating basking dock, accompanied by signage of six Turtle species local to the Schuylkill River, designed with his original artwork (swipe to see). To say we’re proud of him is an understatement. As his fellowship comes to an end today, we are sad to say goodbye, but excited for his future in the environmental field—we are just the beginning of his journey.

Next, Jay will be working full time for The Dandelion Project to continue his work educating and empowering our youth. Make sure to follow him JJ as he’s always delivering cool photos and content from his hikes and outdoor adventures.

We’ll miss you Jay! Thanks for all of your hard work! ❤️ 🌈 🐢 ⭐️ 🧚
