Program Description

Help protect your backyard streams! Borrow a storm drain marking kit and stick a yellow fish beside the storm drains on your street. We have 4 kits available which each contain a mallet, fish decals, and a mini broom. The pavement must be completely dry for few days before and after the stickers are placed, which makes this a good summer activity. For more information, email ecocentre@dnv.org.
