Since 1998, Living Lands & Waters has been an inspiring force of nature and industrial might, cleaning up America’s rivers with their skilled river crew and river clean-up barge. We’ll be joined by LLW Educational Facilitator Mike Coyne-Logan (AKA “Nozzie”, AKA “The Coach”), who is his own force of nature.

Mike will share the story of Living Lands & Waters and his story inspiring students and citizens of all ages to make their world a better place, starting NOW!

Mike loves dogs, humans and picking up garbage from America’s rivers.

Mike began as a volunteer with LLW in 2005 and was asked to join the crew in 2007. Mike graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2000 with degrees in history and education. Before joining the Living Lands & Waters team, he worked as a teacher in his hometown of Rock Island, IL. Much like the mighty paddlewheels on the majestic steamboats of yesteryear, Nozzy propels the crew to greatness. His knack for motivational speaking and his go-getter attitude have earned him the nickname “Coach.” His words have inspired thousands of volunteers at hundreds of river cleanups. Mike takes his coaching to the classroom as the Education Facilitator, teaching students about the importance of our nation’s rivers, clean water and recycling. In his spare time, Nozzy enjoys lifting weights, reading, seeing live music and picking up garbage.
