Become a Riverwatcher
If you love the Fraser River and care about its ecological health and preservation, you might want to consider joining our Riverwatcher program. We endeavor to unite Riverwatchers all along the Fraser, from headwaters to mouth. We’re currently well-represented south of Hope, but seek others both in the lower mainland and on the upper freshwater portions of the river.
A Riverwatcher is a concerned citizen and volunteer who watches and listens to the river when boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, wading, or just observing. Riverwatchers will learn to be aware of the river’s basic hydrology and flow, what threatens the river, and how to help preserve and restore it. Riverwatchers will work with their local community, and with us, to identify and resolve any problems seen on their local section of the river. Together we aim to serve the river with both practical and creative restoration projects, whether it’s a beach cleanup, a project with students in the community, or working with local developers and others to ensure the river’s health is maintained.
