PROGRAMS
The award-winning RiverWatch Institute of Alberta is a non-profit registered charity delivering three watershed education programs - the namesake RiverWatch School Program; CreekWatch Citizen Science; and Summer River Ambassador Outreach. In each of the three programs - whether involving students, volunteers, public or families - participants learn about their local river ecosystem and have the opportunity join a rafting trip. Rafting aboard our giant blue rubber buses takes everyone out into the natural environment and right into the midst of ecology, wildlife, history, geology and river engineering. Our knowledgeable guides show participants science like nothing before and create an experience they’ll never forget!

Science
All RiverWatch programs engage participants in authentic science. We provide the tools and instruction that help answer the question “How healthy is my creek or river? Through first-hand data collection and observation, participants generate their own conclusions!
"RiverWatch seeks to advance education by organizing and delivering programs, projects, science curriculum supplements, field studies and tours that assist teachers, students and others in the study of the environment."
