Did you know there was a conference like this? Beavers are found statewide in Georgia wetlands. The beaver is considered a “keystone” species because the dams and ponds it builds are crucial to the survival of other wildlife. Who's are ready to learn, connect, and celebrate everything these incredible ecosystem engineers do for our landscapes? Join us at

It’s Friday! Time to look at two common sights in Southeast Georgia. The first is the spatterdock, often seen along the river banks such as the Ogeechee River. Our fauna friend is everywhere right now and likely splattered on your windshields. The love bug is not always a loved bug but they are beneficial as they feed on partially decayed vegetation in the landscape.

If you have never heard of Rivers Alive then let me introduce you to this organization. This non-profit organizes a Georgia Rivers paddle every year to educate and promote good stewardship of our waterways. This includes talks and demonstrations on biodiversity of aquatic life, water quality certification, environmental history, and a waterway cleanup event all during the week long paddle.

At IWH, we don’t just talk about making a difference—we take action. 💪🌊
We’re out there helping remove trash and debris from our waterways because we know that action leads to change.

Want to make a difference? Consider volunteering with us and help protect our waterways, one cleanup at a time. Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone. 💙

💦🌿 Find me where the trails meet the water.

Following rivers, exploring hidden trails, soaking up the sunshine, and discovering all the beauty Georgia has to offer. 🥾🏞️✨

Just a little reminder to get outside, get lost, and enjoy the view. 💙

Is the dirty work that needs to be done to keep trash out of our waterways. Thank you to all of our repeat SWT helpers and our new volunteers for lending a hand to cleanup! We removed 81lbs of trash and a 100lb wooden frame 🖼️
We could not do this without volunteers like you 🥰

We have a new group of Water Stewards!

What a wonderful way to wrap up four weeks of learning, exploring, and connecting through water!

Institute for Water and Health's Water Stewards Program followed the journey of a drop of water with our new training program in Liberty County. During the first three weeks, our participants learned from experts about how water moves and how closely it is connected to our health and our environment around us.

Today, it was time to get their hands wet!
Our Water Stewards completed their Georgia Adopt-A-Stream training, spending time in the field and then bringing their samples to our Water Academy labs to learn more on water-quality testing.

One of our favorite things about this program was the sense of community it created. Residents learned together, asked questions, shared experiences, and spent four weeks looking at the water around them in a whole new way.

A huge thanks to our sponsors Liberty County Development Authority and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for supporting this project. We finished our journey together in Savannah at our new Water Academy, and this wonderful group officially became our first cohort to use our new facility!

We couldn't have asked for a better group to help us open this new chapter at the IWH.

Congratulations to all of our Water Stewards! We hope the next time you see a creek, river, storm drain, or even a drop of water, you see its journey a little differently.
