“The main goal of this project is to raise awareness of water(shed) health while trying to reach constituents that we don’t normally reach and building a sense of community based on a shared interest in clean water. We engaged community artists to paint sets of stepping stones which are placed at locations that are already doing things that support clean water (native gardens, community garden spaces, etc.). The message ‘support clean water’ will be across the first three stones, while the last stone will highlight the ecosystem service that the location provides. The goal is for the stones to be simple in the content but aesthetically pleasing, to get constituent’s attention, and raise awareness of individuals who otherwise may not get the information. We are hosting a stepping stone painting event on August 12th, where community members can come see the stepping stones that we have on site. They can also paint and take home their own stepping stone after pledging to support clean water.”
