The Town of Fletcher Stormwater Program had a blast teaching children and their families about the importance of keeping our storm drains and waterways free of pollution, trash, and debris!

A special thank you to all the trick or treaters who helped clean trash, leaves, and other debris out of our storm drain game before collecting their candy. We loved seeing so many kids get involved and learn how even small actions can make a big difference in protecting our waterways.

Remember, everyone has a role to play in keeping our waterways clean!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, and a special thanks to the Town of Fletcher Parks and Recreation Department for putting on another fantastic community event!
