CLINTON RIVER QUEST

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. You can complete everything at your own pace. Participants become known as a “River Ranger”, and proudly defend our water resources while enjoying them! Don’t forget to document your quest along the way!
