RiverWatch Action Ideas

You can help make a difference in the health of rivers. Just don't sit there - get on the bandwagon!

Each of us can make a contribution to the health of rivers. There are actions that we can take in and around our homes that will improve water quality. There are also recreational activities that build our personal connections to rivers.
