The series shows how scientists, educators, and private citizens are working every day to maintain the quality of the water that sustains 15 million people.
In 2018 alone, American Rivers removed 13 outdated dams, restored more than 400 miles of rivers, and protected more than 300 miles of wild rivers.
The after-school program provided students with safe, structured, meaningful, and fun activities that promote learning and growth at no cost to the parents.

A year spent backpacking on the West Coast ignited a passion for fresh water in Maria Scarborough, the newest addition to our Entomology Group.
He’s excited to be working to further understanding of freshwater ecosystems and to improve these systems through research, education, and restoration.
Slippery, shiny, and available in varying shades of green, slime is the latest research interest of two Stroud Water Research Center scientists.
Her personal mission is to foster hands-on freshwater science education that teaches us about ourselves as well as our backyard water resources.
Through her work at the Stroud Center, Bier hopes to better understand how changes in farming practices on land affect the relationship between microbes and the processing of nutrients in streams.
Teachers experienced STEM education in a real-world setting giving them the tools to cultivate the next generation of freshwater stewards.
