This is great segment on the Nine Network with many of the local players concerning water matters. Two very familar faces show up at the 6th minute: Steve Nagle (our Director) and Holly Neil (Executive Director of the Missouri Stream Team Watershed Coalition).

Aren’t you excited to know how much trash we removed from the creek at the 5th annual River des Peres Trash Bash? Don’t you want to see the prize-winning trash entries and hear a heart-warming story about a found item? Great Rivers Greenway District, one of our principal partners, wrote an excellent recap of the event that tells it all.

Greetings and thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself as the ne
w Director for the River des Peres Watershed Coalition. As some of you may know I recently retired as the Director of Community Planning at the East-West Gateway Council of Governments. Prior to that position I worked in California for the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management and then worked as the Director of Environmental Resources for the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and have enjoyed other positions working in the field of natural resources and community planning. I mention this so you know I am not a stranger to working on environmental and natural resource issues. I guess you could say I’ve been an advocate for stewardship of our nature’s blessings for my entire career.

The Coalition is pleased to partner with the St. Louis Chapter of the Audubon Society to promote their Bring Conservation Home program. Activate the conservation potential of your property and you'll improve water quality!
Water,the Hub of Life. Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium. Water is the most extraordinary substance! Practically all its properties are anomalous, which enabled life to use it as building material for its machinery. Life is water dancing to the tune of solids..
