Water is essential to life in so many ways, and water is the focus of the Wyland Foundation. You may know of the artist named Wyland, who has spent years creating enormous murals featuring whales and other marine life on the walls of buildings all over the world. His foundation promotes stewardship of marine resources and water conservation through several programs including the National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation.

This edition of Mothering Earth features Steve Creech, President of the Wyland Foundation, who provides insight into Wyland, the artist, and into how the foundation reflects Wyland’s passion for the protection of oceans and for water conservation
