Join the Open Space STL team for a unique chance to tour the Living Lands and Water Barge.
Operated by the Living Lands & Water organization, this barge is used as a floating educational and workforce development center.
Spending up to 9 months a year living and traveling on the barge, the Living Lands & Waters’ crew hosts river cleanups, watershed conservation initiatives, workshops, tree plantings and other key conservation efforts. Since the organization was founded, Living Lands & Waters has grown to be the only “industrial strength” river cleanup organization like it in the world.
