The Water Teachers Initiative

Immersive educational content for K-12 classrooms

After two decades of creating visual stories and imagery, Freshwaters Illustrated now curates the world’s largest archive of educational films and photos on freshwater ecosystems, biodiversity, science, and conservation. And now, we’ve made it even more useful and available to K-12 teachers.

Because every child needs connection with the wonders of water
