THREATS TO OUR RIVERS
The seemingly healthy White and North Fork rivers have been in decline for a number of years. We're seeing decreased water quality and fish populations, stream bank erosion,muddy runoffs from inappropriate development practices, an increase in algae blooms and the list goes on. Anything that endangers our rivers threatens our incredible fishery and our local economy.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
First we must identify the problems that affect the rivers. Next we must make new and effective choices that contribute to the solution. Then, with knowledge, go into action to have a positive impact on our rivers. To that end, we invite you to become a member of the Friends of the North Fork and White Rivers, the most active and effective group of citizensdedicated to keeping our rivers healthy

The area would become depressed.
