Stream Watch announces expansion of Award Winning Program
Trained Stream Watch volunteers have been protecting the Russian River and upper Kenai River for over 15 years resulting in a more sustainable fishery. The program has become so effective it is now expanding down to the lower Kenai River. (Stream Watch is a volunteer driven river protection program. Volunteers are provided all of the training and supplies, including volunteer campsites, to make a difference by sharing river protection information and by completing hands-on projects. There are opportunities for everyone!)
