Making a Difference

Did You Know… The White River is over 158 miles long,

stretching from Patagonia Falls to North Denton

Over 250 species of fish, crustaceans, amphibians, and reptiles make their home there

More than 50 native tree and plant species are found along the river banks

But It Needs Our Help Trash dumping along the river has

polluted animal habitats Water quality has degraded from

dumping by nearby industries Invasive non-native plants are choking

out native plants
