  • Mission

    "The River Guardian Foundation will set the standard for safeguarding our lakes, rivers, and streams for present and future generations of people and wildlife. By forging partnerships, creating a strong sense of community stewardship, and building strong advocacy, research, education, and monitoring programs, we will insure pure, clean water for drinking, fishing and recreation."

    About Us

    The River Guardian Foundation recognizes the need for increased advocacy and public education regarding water quality issues. Our objective is to be highly visible to the public, government agencies, elected officials and others with the understanding that we are vigilantly tracking proposed changes in rules and laws that would weaken environmental protection, and monitoring for potential or actual pollution discharges to our waters. Through the use of volunteers and staff, a strong presence will be maintained in our areas of operation and will grow to other areas where water quality issues have been documented or are perceived to become problematic. We welcome collaboration with other established organizations in our quest to set the standard for water quality protection.
