Just off of the Louisville wharf, there’s an unusual sight: several barges, a painted towboat and lots of trash. This is the floating headquarters of Living Lands and Waters, a nonprofit that will spend the next week in Louisville leading river cleanups and education sessions.
Living Lands and Waters founder Chad Pregracke shows me around. On the main barge, there are classrooms and staff living quarters. Everything’s really clean and nicely organized. But there are a couple of other barges attached.
