TAMPA - The region's water wizards are conjuring events to lure people to the Hillsborough River and teach them the watershed's importance.
The Southwest Florida Water Management District is joining forces with the Hillsborough River Watershed Alliance, declaring Nov. 15-22 as "Watershed Awareness Week."
The district's Hillsborough River Basin Board is co-sponsoring the week's events, which include planting a Florida-friendly yard, canoe tours, urban planning and more.
The alliance is a nonprofit organization formed in 1992 as a partnership among various governments and agencies, environmental and civic organizations, and residents dedicated to protecting the natural resources of the Hillsborough River watershed.
