Maligned animals have many benefits to humans! ππ. Freshmen river fellows loved meeting the animal ambassadors @ the nature center. We met a corn snake, opossum & a red-shouldered hawk as well as learned about the interconnectedness of local animals and local waterways.
Excited to transfer a 3D topographic watershed model to Outdoor Chattanooga. Local teachers will be able to check this out! More details to come. ππ§Nice work class of 2025 river fellows!

Update from the Delta Swamp: Our animal care team recently completed physicals for our American Alligators in Alligator Bayou. Keepers report that each one received a "golden star" for their physical exams. Each also got a new set of colorful nail caps (used for ID purposes.)
Green roofs, rain gardens, porous pavement and rain barrels are common green infrastructure solutions that reduce stormwater runoff and improve water quality in our urban rivers. https://t.co/5VM1UpcuWE
