Living Lands & Waters has spent the past several weeks docked in Owensboro, pulling trash from the Ohio River and welcoming hundreds of local students aboard its barge for hands-on lessons.

Living Lands and Waters is used to digging through the depths of the rivers, ridding the water of trash and pollution. But on Saturday, August 9, they took to the skies above the water. For the second time, they created a team to compete at the Annual Red Bull Flugtag competition.

Living Lands & Waters (LL&W) took to the skies – literally – at the 2025 Red Bull Flugtag in Cincinnati, Ohio on August 9. The group earned second place out of nearly 40 teams with a 66-foot flight over the Ohio River on Saturday, August 9.
