Episode 08: The Creek as Classroom—Stories from World Water Day
In this final episode from our World Water Day storytelling event, two environmental leaders share the profound gift of witnessing children discover water and nature, as if for the first time. Hannah Welborn-Lewis coordinates the Haw River Learning Celebration, a field trip program where students from across the area come to wade creeks, catch critters, and witness wildlife in their local river. Randee Haven O'Donnell reflects on her final science field trip to the creek after decades of guiding young people in biotic discovery both in and outside of the classroom.
Both storytellers remind us that water and children can be among our greatest teachers, renewing curiosity and awakening wonder at the beauty all around.
