Resource professionals from the local area volunteer at five different stations set up on the grounds of the Visitor Center complex. The stations include watershed protection, recycling, wildlife of the wetlands, water pollution, and waterfowl management. Students move between stations every half hour, with presentations lasting approximately 20 minutes. Prior to the festival, each participating school student has an opportunity to submit a 'sculpture? made entirely of recycled material. The sculptures are brought to the Visitor Center for judging and display. The winners are awarded ribbons and their artwork is displayed for a short period of time at the Visitor Center.

Sponsors and volunteers include the Flint Creek Watershed Project (NRCS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, City of Decatur, and the Morgan County Commission.
