Riverkeeper programs
Riverkeeper programs are environmental initiatives designed to protect and restore rivers and their ecosystems. They involve community members, scientists, and advocates who work together to monitor water quality, advocate for clean water policies, and engage in public education. These programs often organize clean-up efforts and promote sustainable practices among local industries and governments. By focusing on safeguarding waterways, Riverkeeper programs aim to ensure safe drinking water, preserve wildlife habitats, and enhance recreational opportunities, fostering a healthier environment for both people and nature.
