Environmental Stewardship to host Lower Colorado River fundraiser April 17

A guest judge will select the winning photos, and winners will be announced at the fundraising event.

Steve Box, executive director at Environmental Stewardship, stated in the contest instructions that the campaign will help engage the community and support vital conservation efforts.

“We want to highlight the beauty of our waterways and inspire our community to protect them,” Box said.

Some context

The stewardship provides outreach and education, advocates for ecologically responsible policy, and manages and restores natural resources, as stated on its website.

The organization became a Waterkeeper Alliance affiliate in 2016 and has since worked to preserve and protect the Texas Colorado River, associated aquifers, and the bays and estuaries of the Texas Gulf Coast.
