Trash is Bad for Water

6/27/2016

Today we looked at the Pete the Paddlefish sculpture to get ideas about what kind of trash is especially bad for the water and to see how the rain water in storm drains and the trash going in it actually gets to the river. Then we walked to the creek behind the Y and explored to see what we could find. We had all kinds of nets and magnifying tools borrowed from the Missouri Department of Conservation’s “Wetlands” educational trunk. Thank you for this great teaching tool!

Holly Hughes' art features projects that are Environmental Art Happenings (E.ART.H) designed to inspire creativity and increase global compassion. She creates by recycling and reusing materials in unique ways, community collaboration, environmental awareness, edible art sculptures, easy to make labyrinths, murals, nature hearts, and more.

This blog chronicles Hughes' latest community art project, Big Fish, Big Tales, and the Big Muddy, a multi-layered community art project involving Missouri River education, stream cleanups and public art.

It is made possible by a Missouri River Relief mini-grant awarded to the Boonslick Heartland YMCA, partnering the City of Boonville, MO Tourism Office, the CCBC, (Concerned citizens for a Better Community) and the Turner Hall River Rats for the Arts.
