Message from the President

If you have visited our website before, you may notice it looks different. If this is your first visit, welcome! We have just completed a redesign and updated the site navigation. We hope this will make it easier for you to find the information, technical help and resources that you are looking for to help you better protect and restore your rivers and watersheds.

As we look ahead, it is very exciting to know that people all across country, like you, are organizing to understand, protect and restore their home waters - and are making such an enormous difference, watershed by watershed. I want you to know that River Network is here to help, day in and day out, year in and year out.

At River Network, our focus has always been on long-term results. Because we work in support of others, we know that we won't be able to measure the results of today's actions precisely a month or a year from now. We also know that if we are doing our work well we will generate very few headlines for ourselves. We are happy to work patiently and out of the limelight, because we know that's how we can make the most difference for our cause and for the thousands of local groups working hard to protect the freshwater resources in their backyards.

The tools available on our website are just one way in which we provide support. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or suggestions you may have to make this site work better for you.

Here's to connecting people and saving rivers,

Don Elder
