RIVERFRONT CHAMPIONS: TOGETHER WE CAN SUPPORT OUR RIVER

WE’RE HAPPY YOU’RE HERE

Hello, river neighbor! From one river steward to another, we are happy to connect.

We’re gathering Riverfront Champions together to unite as a community group where we can share river care resources, learn from each other about preserving views while reducing erosion and strengthening shorelines, and ultimately, work together to protect our shared resource.

Let’s get together and enhance our river!
