What are the human and natural stories that drain into Tampa Bay?

Join Thomas Hallock (USF St. Petersburg) and Amanda Hagood (Eckerd College) for a conversation grounded in #Creekshed, their collaborative project in environmental storytelling.

Through essays, poems, and scholarly research, they trace how creeks, culverts, and overlooked streams define our sense of place and reveal patterns of environmental change.

Facilitated by Ray Roa (Creative Loafing), this program considers how the written word can foster stewardship and strengthen our shared commitment to preservation.
