Be Safe
Checking on the environmental health of a river requires us to "get close and personal" with moving water. Rivers, river valleys and wildlife are certainly beautiful and enjoyable - as long as you keep "safety first"!
- Safety comes first with all River Watch activities. Tens of thousands of students have enjoyed River Watch field trips without serious incident.
- The rafts are really large rubber busses that move people from study site to study site. Our boats are so big that we can even accommodate students using wheelchairs!
- You'll work along the river shoreline, wade into shallow water and paddle rafts to study sites during a day spent with River Watch. Each activity is safe and enjoyable under the supervision of our trained river guides.
- Make sure that you hear everything the guide says. Listen to the introductory talks on shore and in the raft. If you aren't sure what to do, ask your guide.
Here are the main safety considerations that make for a great day on the river!
