Join an engaging and inspiring conversation about the waterways that shape Oklahoma’s landscapes and outdoor experiences. You’ll be introduced to Blue Thumb, a statewide program dedicated to protecting and restoring local streams and rivers through science, education, and community stewardship. Learn how healthy waterways support everything from wildlife habitat to safe, enjoyable places to paddle, fish, and explore, and why local action plays such a powerful role in caring for the outdoors we all love. Whether you’re brand new to conservation work or looking for hands-on ways to give back, this approachable presentation will show how individuals can make a meaningful impact right in their own communities.
