We offer river programs and volunteer opportunities for you
Educational programs | volunteer opportunities | river restoration & cleanup activities | water quality monitoring
Our programs provide opportunities to: get on the river (canoe, kayak, fish, Explore!), volunteer for our stewardship projects, get outside, learn from and partner with local organizations and municipalities to bring this great river and its surrounding watershed back to its natural state. Our programs are dedicated to protecting, preserving and enhancing the natural habitat of local river wildlife and creating recreational programs for the local residents to enjoy. We also work to connect people with the local and natural history of the river and its surrounding area.
