THI StreamTeam Volunteers Bag a Ton of Trash During Annual Clean-up Local stream clean up efforts like the one THI organizes each year for Livingston's Fleshman Creek can make a big difference to stream health and community stewardship of these important resources. Since the first organized Fleshman Creek cleanup in 2001, THI has seen a marked improvement in the amount and type of debris found in the creek. “To date we have removed more than 32,000 pounds of trash. That is an amazing accomplishment.” said THI Stream Team coordinator Shannan Mascari. “It would not have been possible without the hundreds of people who have volunteered and the many sponsors who have contributed over the years." If you would like to organize your own stream cleanup, please contact THI for tips and resources to make your clean up a lasting success.

WATER MATTERS: The Importance of Sustainable River Restoration Significant human-caused changes to wetlands, rivers and streams have resulted in a dramatic reduction in both water quality and quantity across the U.S. and the world. In natural, undisturbed ecosystems, water falls on vegetation, drips onto the soil, percolates into the soil and slowly migrates down drainage into catchment areas like streams and wetlands. Real ecological function relies on these intact, healthy ecosystems. This issue of Water Matters is devoted to explaining why sustainable, self-renewing approaches to river and wetland restoration are so important, and why our company continually advocates for renewal and repair of these vital resources.
