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.

With its floating classroom barge and hands-on workshops, the Mississippi River Institute is connecting young adults and school-aged kids to the river’s ecological and economic importance, while opening their eyes to careers they may have never considered.
