GROUNDWATER - MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE

Groundwater is invisible, but its impact is visible everywhere.

Out of sight, under our feet, groundwater is a hidden treasure that enriches our lives. 

Almost all of the liquid freshwater in the world is groundwater.

As climate change gets worse, groundwater will become more and more critical. 

We need to work together to sustainably manage this precious resource.

Groundwater may be out of sight, but it must not be out of mind.

Spring Equinox Community Clean Up

Take a walk by the River and show your love for the Boyne! We will gather (exact time TBA) at the Boyne River with local residents, Boyne and Boann lovers alike to honor an celebrate our river’s history and mythology while strengthening our community serving to protect her precious ecosystem. Learn more about the river, its biodiversity and the many ways community members enjoy recreational access. All the while, we will tend to her beautiful banks. RSVP appreciated but not required. But we’d love it if you’d share!
