The city of Lexington, the University of Kentucky and Fayette County Public Schools invite Lexington residents to celebrate Kentucky’s rivers and streams during Water Week, March 20-29. For the seventh year, Water Week encourages Lexingtonians to find a connection to local creeks through dozens of in-person, virtual and self-guided events.
This event is a service-learning event at the University of Kentucky's Farm Road Rain Garden. Participants will learn about green infrastructure for stormwater management and the benefits of incorporating green spaces and outdoor learning environments into campus. There will also be a service portion of the event where participants will clean up trash, manage plants, and mulch the site.
Community members are invited to a free screening of the documentary Microplastic Madness, an optimistic take on the plastic pollution crisis as told through the eyes of a group of school children. Common Threads LEX, a new sustainability-focused partnership between the City of Lexington, the University of Kentucky and Fayette County Public Schools, is hosting the screening. This is Common Threads LEX’s inaugural event.
This year’s Showcase will be hosted in the Healthy Kentucky Research Building on Wednesday, October 15th from 5:30-7:30pm. The event is free, open to the public, and refreshments will be provided.
