An Educational Roadshow
Here’s one example of how TRWD takes its stream trailers on the road to educate students about our water resources. It’s a great way to provide young learners an interactive experience to teach them about watersheds, how we impact them, and about the actions we can take to protect them. We all live in a watershed and the things we do on land — good and bad — have an effect on our drinking water supplies. Being good stewards of our water resources helps ensure that we’ll have access to clean drinking water for years to come.

Educational Partnerships
By partnering with other education‐based organizations, TRWD is able to provide a more comprehensive learning experience for students and adults alike. The Trinity River Project, conducted through a partnership between the Texas Wildlife Association Conservation Legacy Program and Imagination Fort Worth, delivers water‐related education to Fort Worth ISD students on the banks of the Trinity River. Texas A&M AgriLife provides a variety of water‐related information and local events through their Water Education Network and 4‐H/Youth Development programs.
Partnership Spotlight
Texas A&M AgriLife
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension has a long history of agricultural education, and has been a significant partner in delivering science-based resources to agricultural producers throughout TRWD watersheds. As the demographics of agricultural producers change, continued education is an important part of a sustained watershed protection program. The benefits of investments into new farming methods to enhance soil health have been seen by farmers and ranchers in TRWD’s watersheds.

Agricultural Conservation Practices
TRWD encourages and supports responsible agriculture and good land stewardship by working closely with local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, state and federal entities, industries and nonprofit organizations.
Technical assistance, workshops, and demonstration projects help deliver information, resources, and new technology to agricultural producers throughout our watersheds.
Learn how we’re working with rural landowners and producers to better manage their land to improve water quality.
Urban Stormwater Management
TRWD encourages and supports urban stormwater management through several avenues. The district works with the city of Fort Worth to implement a joint Stormwater Management Plan to address the problems caused by stormwater entering the Trinity River. Education about reducing stormwater runoff is key to protecting watersheds and water quality.
