Now is the perfect time to get involved with protecting our freshwater resources with volunteer events, free training and education classes and family-friendly activities throughout the year!
Do you like the outdoors, protecting the environment, and learning? Join CRWC’s Clinton River Quest – a watershed scavenger hunt, and become a River Ranger! This program offers something for everyone; whether you are a new to environmental stewardship, or experienced, the Clinton River Quest promises to be an exciting and fulfilling adventure.
CRWC’s Clinton River Quest program engages people in the watershed using education, involvement and stewardship. This includes teaching Clinton River watershed facts, visiting restoration and green infrastructure sites and activities to get involved!
Guiding you through these experiences, the Quest takes you on a trip of local watershed discovery and offers prizes to top finishers. You can complete everything at your own pace. Once complete, participants become known as a “River Ranger”, and proudly defend our water resources while wearing your cool t-shirt and supporting CRWC! Don’t forget to document your quest along the way!
Tag us in social media posts wearing your t-shirt at CRQ site visits and activities. #ClintonRiverQuest #CRWCRiverRangers
