Spring 2026
Maple Creek headwaters replanted
We planted 4,300 native willows and sedges along two miles of bank, stabilizing soil and shading the cold-water trout run.
Community guardians of our local waterways
The river remembers everyone who shows up for it.
Riverkeepers is a community of neighbors restoring the rivers, streams and wetlands at our doorstep — keeping the water clean, wild, and alive for everyone downstream.
Our mission
Healthy water is a right, not a privilege — so we tend it together.
Every creek, drain and storm channel eventually reaches the same river. We believe protecting that shared water is ordinary, hopeful, hands-on work — the kind a whole community can do on a Saturday morning.
For over a decade we have organized cleanups, replanted banks, monitored water quality, and stood up for the waterways when they could not speak for themselves. The results belong to everyone who showed up.

The water needs more keepers. Will you be one?
Lend an hour, a skill, or a gift. Every contribution flows downstream to cleaner, wilder water.
