Watershed Hacks: Stormwater Art

This session explores how art can be used as a tool for stormwater education and engagement, featuring examples from school projects, residential settings, and community-based initiatives. Presenters share ideas for stormwater-inspired art, poetry, and hands-on activities such as rain barrel painting, storm drain art, and the “Yard of the Yard” project, that encourage participants to observe water, soil, and landscape processes more closely. It emphasizes the role of creativity in building watershed awareness, fostering stewardship, and making stormwater science more approachable and meaningful for a broad audience.

This webcast is part of the Watershed Hacks series, which highlights practical, low-cost, and family-friendly activities that help translate stormwater concepts into everyday experiences using materials and spaces people already have.
