This event celebrates the White Salmon River drainage with education, information, kayaking, food, and fun! The event draws 70-100 paddlers yearly to the White Salmon River who care about the watershed and its future. join us this year for a great event!
By teaming up with the Headwaters Institute, we are given a structure which helps us put together a
well-designed Watershed Education Seminar on the White Salmon River. The Headwater's Institute was formed by a small group of river
enthusiasts to provide education that inspires individuals and
communities to care for and connect with their watershed. HWI is a
non-profit organization and consists of volunteers who organize events
locally and nation-wide. HWI is supported and endorsed by American
Whitewater, American Rivers, River Network and many more.
HWI was created
to assist and enhance annual educational seminars for guides and
educators to teach, learn and share their common passion for rivers,
coasts, lakes and their watersheds. This is where HWI comes into play
on our very own White Salmon River.
With
HWI's support and guidance, we can join others in uniting our rivers
nationwide. For example, HWI seminars are held on the American River in
California, the Denali River in Alaska, the Snake and the Rio Grande,
just to name a few. With HWI giving us support and structure we all
have a common goal: To provide natural history, conservation, and
interpretive trainings for all. These seminars encourage and promote a
deeper public understanding of the importance of healthy rivers and
their watershed ecosystems from ridgeline to coastline.
