Durham Stormwater Education + Outreach Videos

The City of Durham partnered with McAdams and Amazing Studios to produce a unique and engaging video series focused on stormwater education. Designed to inform and entertain, these videos introduce residents to the City’s stormwater hotline—explaining when and how to use it through the creative use of puppet characters. Meet Russell the Leaf Monster, Carl the Oil Blob, and Francine the Silt Fence—memorable, relatable characters who bring stormwater issues to life in a fun and accessible way. This imaginative approach helps connect the community with important environmental practices while making learning enjoyable for all ages.
