SWPA Environmental Storytelling Project
Since 2018, RiverWise has been engaged in progressively more visible and sophisticated environmental justice storytelling projects. Along the way, we have developed a growing collection of storytelling assets that shed light on environmental justice issues, leaders, and projects throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. On the page below you will find highlights from that work. You can dig in further on our YouTube Channel, or view content through the following playlists.
These storytelling efforts are part of a broader series of commitments RiverWise has made to encouraging and highlighting environmental justice efforts throughout the region. Learn more here about our Justice 40 Opportunity Navigator project, in partnership with New Sun Rising.
