Thanks to Mueller Co. we were able to double our stream team impact during the 25/26 school year! We added Bess T. Shepherd and Hardy Elementary to our stream team schedule. Students explored the importance of water quality through games, experiments, and presentations from our partners at Tennessee American Water. Mueller Co. sent volunteers to each and every program! Thanks to them, we were able to take lessons outside whether that was on campus, at the RiverWalk park, our Enterprise South Nature Park!Mueller Co. team members were not afraid to get their hands dirty. Thanks to a work day at Bess T. Shepherd’s campus, a path to Friar’s Branch creek was cleared. Pictured are students discovering eggs and macroinvertebrates in their creek! Not only did the students discover the life in their creek, they helped protect it by installing live stakes (dormant native trees). This will help stabilize the streambank and keep some dirt out of the creek. We are so grateful to our friends at Mueller Co. for helping us inspire the next generation of water stewards!
