As students familiarize themselves with campus, the River Basin Center encourages them to learn more about the natural systems all around them. RBC intern Gabriel Stephenson captured footage at Tanyard Creek to highlight an urban freshwater ecosystem running right through UGA’s campus. Get to know your local watersheds through this video and a myriad of resources on the RBC site, including the River Basins of Georgia page, which highlights each of the state’s 14 main river basins.
