Your River Kid(z) is invited to Tallahassee

2nd Annual "We Want Clean Water" rally


Last year, many groups embarked to Tallahassee to stand united with the Sierra Club to demand clean water once and for all. We were joined by environmental leaders, politicians, Kidz, and many concerned citizens. We stood on the steps of the old Capital Building in downtown Tallahassee.

One of the River Kidz took to the podium to tell his story. Take a look at the video from last year when 10 year old Aidan Lewey spoke loud and clear for all to hear, his feelings on the polluted water:

We are seeking additional River Kidz to join us in Tallahassee once again. We understand the importance of school and while this falling on a school day can be difficult, this is a perfect learning experience for our children to be a part of.

Here are the details:

WHO: Floridians' Clean Water Declaration and Amendment 1 activists from all across the state!
WHAT: Floridians for Clean Water & Amendment 1 Rally
WHEN: Wednesday, February 18 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
WHERE: On the front steps of the Old Capitol, 400 S. Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399 [Map]

Please let me know if your River Kid is interested in joining us this year and to stand with many of River Kidz to demand clean water.

River Kidz Upcoming Events:



River Kidz seed swap and garden talk!!!




River Kidz Seed Swap
February 8, 2015
1pm - 3pm
Manatee Observation & Education Center

FREE * FREE * FREE

The River Kidz goal this year is create their own community garden. Before we can do that, we know its important to teach the local Kidz the importance of sustainable and responsible gardening.

We're going to talk about the importance of native plants, what we can use outside of harmful chemicals, our visions and what we want to grow and what we can grow in our community garden.


All you need to bring is seeds and brief information on your seeds. We are recommending heirloom seeds. What are Heirloom Seeds? They are open-pollinated -- meaning that unlike hybrids, seeds you collect from one year will produce plants with most of the characteristics of the parent plant

We are VERY excited about this event and hope to engage lots of kids. We are going to need a lot of help with our gardening. We are excited to show you how much fun and rewarding gardening can be, all while doing it safely when it comes to our water shed.

For more information please contact Katy Lewey (organizer): RiverKidzSLC@gmail.com
