Start a Conversation About Protecting Water: Add Wildlife Markers to Your Block
Adding our storm drain markers—each with a unique type of aquatic wildlife depending on your watershed—to your block can start a conversation with neighbors about how communities can protect local waterways.
Many people don't realize that what goes down storm drains can harm local animals like otters, turtles, herons, endangered fish and more.
The truth is, cleaner neighborhoods and cleaner streets mean cleaner Philly rivers and creeks!
