We are ALL over the watershed this spring connecting with community members about FOR and our river! Bellow are all upcoming events we could use an extra set of hands at to help us engage with students and families on river conservation and education. It’s a great way to experience new events, learn more about FOR and chat with community members. You will be paired up with lovely FOR staff to run the outreach table and/or education activity.
