Running Rivers

Our mission is to conserve and restore native fish ecosystems by educating and inspiring a diverse community of recreationists to engage in conversation through responsible and thoughtful recreation, informed advocacy and philanthropy, and impactful projects. At Running Rivers, we firmly believe that the best way to ensure the preservation, protection, and maintenance of our irreplaceable public lands and waters is to develop and foster the stewards who will stand up in their defense. Our programs create unique opportunities for the people to experience public lands and waters in novel and fun ways, to expand their depth of understanding of the importance of healthy functioning freshwater ecosystems, and to invest in their time, money and sweat through on-the-ground stewardship projects.
