| Overland Park Clean Stream Day enlists the manpower of over 600 volunteers to assist in the clean up of the local urban streams. Below, Watershed Institute Executive Director and Environmental Attorney Frank Austenfeld takes time to discuss the effects of residential and commercial development on urban streams. Education and public outreach on the benefits of and opportunities for restoration on private land as well as public land is an important function of the Watershed Institute. Working with the city of Overland Park to perhaps restore the section of Tomahawk Creek pictured below, Austenfeld hopes it will happen someday. |
