When you're out fishing make sure you are using lead free tackle! Some great alternatives are tungsten, bismuth, steel, or tin.

The Grate Drain Race starts tomorrow August 1! For the first time ever, we're going head to head with @rpbcwd in a competition to see which watershed can get the most drains adopted. You can join this showdown from August through November by adopting and cleaning a stormdrain near you. We'll be awarding prizes for best drain name, as well as holding raffles for new drain adoptions and cleanings recorded (so even if you already have a drain, you can still compete!) Learn more about the competition and how to adopt drains at the link in our bio.
