Living Rivers

Living Rivers promotes river restoration through mobilization. By articulating conservation and alternative management strategies to the public, we seek to revive the natural habitat and spirit of rivers by undoing the extensive damage done by dams, diversions and pollution on the Colorado Plateau. One of our projects, River Runners For Wilderness, is managed by Tom Martin. Tom conducts oral histories with people who care about the Colorado Plateau.

We seek volunteers from across the country to transcribe oral histories of people who live, work, and recreate on the Colorado Plateau. This geographical area spans from Lake Mead to Green River Utah. Completed transcripts are archived online and at Grand Canyon National Park.
