Every story needs someone to carry it forward. This summer, high school students stepped into the world of water through STORM (Students Transforming Our Resource Mindset), an educational program from TRWD and Save Tarrant Water that gives students a firsthand look at the people, places and science behind our region's water supply.

Throughout the week, students explored local water systems, visited facilities, met industry professionals and discovered how protecting water quality supports the communities that depend on it every day. By investing in the next generation of water leaders, we're helping ensure the story of protecting North Texas' water continues for years to come.

Every drop has a story. And every future steward helps write the next chapter.

Looking for simple ways to save water and refresh your landscape this fall? Save Tarrant Water has two great opportunities to help you get started.

Rain barrels are now available for purchase, giving residents an easy way to collect rainwater and put it to use around the yard. You can also take advantage of the Go N Grow Garden program, which offers ready-to-plant native garden kits designed for North Texas landscapes. Both programs include opportunities to save even more through available discounts and rebates, including a $30 rain barrel discount for eligible participants who attend a free Rainwater Harvesting class and Go N Grow rebate options for qualifying customers.

Follow Save Tarrant Water to learn more and reserve yours while supplies last:

50 years. Countless projects. One remarkable career. When Donnie Mayes joined TRWD in 1976, bell-bottoms and platform shoes were in style. A lot has changed since then, including Donnie’s role at TRWD.

From mowing grass around the district’s main office to becoming an Operator III whose skill and experience help keep important projects moving throughout the Fort Worth Floodway and beyond, Donnie has spent five decades learning new skills, building friendships and serving our community.

His secret to a career that’s gone by so quickly? Good people, meaningful work and keeping a smile on his face. “When you spend your days with good people, the job goes by fast.” After 50 years, Donnie’s story is about more than longevity. It’s about learning, teamwork and taking pride in work that serves the community.

It starts with a raindrop. It lands on a rooftop, driveway or lawn and begins a journey. As it moves, it can pick up litter, lawn chemicals, pet waste, oil and other pollutants before flowing into a storm drain, then a creek and eventually one of our rivers or lakes. That's why protecting water quality doesn't begin at the shoreline. It starts in our neighborhoods, parks and communities—long before the water reaches a waterway.

At TRWD, we work year-round through watershed education, rainscapes, litter prevention and community cleanups to help keep pollution out of our lakes and rivers. But protecting water quality is something we all can be part of. One of the easiest ways to make a difference is by removing litter before the next rain has a chance to carry it downstream. This fall, join us at TRWD Trash Bash and help protect the waterways we all share. Every piece of litter removed is one less piece that can make its way into a creek, river or lake.

Registration for Fall Trash Bash is now open. We hope to see you there. https://ow.ly/ohnx50ZtPGk.

This summer, TRWD's interns had the opportunity to explore our campus in a unique way through a guided Rainscapes Tour led by the Watershed Protection Team. The tour provided a behind the scenes look at how TRWD's Rainscapes use innovative best management practices to help protect water quality while creating functional, sustainable landscapes. Along the way, interns learned how multiple departments work together to support source water protection and stewardship across North Texas.

From the classroom to the field, experiences like these help connect the next generation of professionals with the important work happening at TRWD every day. Thank you to our Watershed Protection Team for sharing their expertise and helping make this summer a memorable learning experience for our interns.

Sharing knowledge is one of the many ways TRWD helps protect our water resources, and that work often reaches far beyond North Texas. Recently, Watershed Engagement Coordinator Jessie Silverstein served as a presenter at the Texas Project WILD Facilitator Forum at Bastrop State Park.

Jessie led sessions on WILD About School Sites and Pollinator Gardens, sharing ideas and resources that help educators bring environmental learning to life in their classrooms and communities. The annual forum brings together Texas Project WILD facilitators from across the state to network, learn from one another, and strengthen the program that reaches thousands of students each year. By supporting educators who inspire future generations of environmental stewards, opportunities like these help extend the impact of watershed education far beyond the classroom.
