Living Lands & Waters has brought its floating classroom barge to the Beacon Harbor for the second time. Through late June, the educational space will host free workshops and events designed to engage young adults and the local community, connecting them to economic opportunities on the Mississippi River.

Living Lands and Waters sets anchors for its new floating classroom in the Quad Cities, showcasing jobs on the Mississippi River.

More than 90 students from Rock Island and Riverdale high schools volunteered for the project.
Living Lands & Waters started this year’s push toward the MillionTrees Project. The process involves soaking newspapers to preserve the trees until they’re ready to be planted in April.
