San Antonio River Authority
Organization Award
For many years the San Antonio River Authority has been sharing nature experiences with the residents of San Antonio, serving both as a municipal water authority, but also, as an environmental educational entity in the city. In 2021 The San Antonio River Authority launched the ‘Don’t Let Litter Trash Your River’ (DLLTYR) Initiative. A study was conducted to measure the success of the school field programs, results showed a positive and statistically significant difference indicating students were more likely to perform community-based actions around litter post-program attendance. The DLLTYR education program along with example collateral is available for educators to review and utilize for their own programs, serving as a great resource for other partners across Texas.
