The number one thing you can do to protect our watersheds is to ALWAYS use a garbage can and never drop trash onto the ground! But there are other ways to help too.

Join a Litter Cleanup! Work with your school, City or a local organization to organize or join a creek or river cleanup. Visit www.cleanacreek.org for more information.
Volunteer to Help the Environment. Find a local environmental or watershed group in your community and volunteer to help with a project (e.g. tree planting, habitat restoration project.) Download our Volunteer Opportunities list to search for an organization in your watershed.
Educate Your Community! Share everything you have learned about watersheds and stopping pollution. For example, you can:
Work with your school to organize a Storm Drain Stenciling Project in your neighborhood.
Create and distribute a flyer or door hanger for local households to remind them that storm drains dump directly into your local water body.
Create a wildlife habitat or another conservation project in your school. Consider joining the National Wildlife Federations schoolyard habitat program and receive a certificate and sign for your school project.
Visit a local wastewater treatment or water filtration plant to see how wastewater is treated or drinking water is purified. Look at the treated water as it is being discharged into your river, stream, or estuary.
Identify people working in water resource protection and invite them to come and speak to your school or club.
