See all that our wonderful volunteers accomplished last month, and what projects are coming up this month!
TAKE THE STORM DRAIN ART WALKING TOUR!
After a very successful storm drain art project in the OSU campus area, FLOW recently completed a similar project in Columbus’ Short North area to continue raising awareness about how everything that goes in the storm drain goes right into the river. We were amazed by the beautiful artwork created by our artists! Follow the link below to go on a story map walking tour of both projects!

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED – video tells FLOW’s story
Thanks to a very generous gift from one of our supporters, FLOW would like to share this video of the Olentangy Watershed and what we can accomplish if we all work together to improve our greenspaces. There is a lot of pressure on our waterways but we can combat impacts if we work in the spaces we control to reduce our 40% turf grass, remove invasive species, plant native herbaceous and woody species and clean up litter. To learn more about what you can do, please see our Greenspace Implementation report.
