EXPERIENCE THE RIVER

We safely bring people to the Missouri River through three interconnected approaches.

Stewardship

Roll up your sleeves and join our community cleanups. Together, we've removed over 1,000 tons of trash from the river since 2001. These hands-on experiences turn volunteers into lifelong river advocates.

Education

Get to know the river as your classroom. Our place-based programs get children and adults onto the water, fostering curiosity and building reverence for this powerful force of nature. We don't just teach you about the river—we help you experience it.
