Protecting Rivers, One Flow at a Time with Evan Stafford of American Whitewater
Manage episode 453378245 series 2311774
In this episode we chat with Evan Stafford, the Communications Director at American Whitewater, an organization on a mission to protect and restore America's rivers. By working to restore flows in de-watered rivers and advocating against harmful dam projects, American Whitewater plays a role in balancing the needs of river ecosystems with human activity.
American Whitewater's history runs deep. Starting as a grassroots group of paddlers in the 1950's, it has grown into the leading organization for river protection today. From efforts to secure restored river flows through hydropower relicensing to promoting river safety, their impact doesn't go unnoticed.
Whether you're an advocate yourself, or just love getting out on the water, this one's for you!
