American Whitewater’s Top 10 River Stewardship Focus

American Whitewater published their Top 10 List of Stewardship issues in January 2024. This is a mix of dam removal projects, legislation and policy pushes, Wild and Scenic options, all encompassed in the work from American Whitewater to keep rivers clean and accessible. This episode is an interview Kevin Colburn from American Whitewater learning about each river on this list and the positive end goals.

River Permits

Do you rally up your river friends each January and coordinate your river permit dates? Do you get permits? Do you wonder who is behind the curtain of rec.gov and the permitting offices? This episode asked all those questions and spoke with the river permitting "boss" at rec.gov, and the river permit offices at Dinosaur National Monument, Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho and Grand Canyon National Park. There are people behind the curtain, they are very friendly and shared with The River Radius information to help all of us better understand the why and the how of the river permit systems.

Each river office has a website with relevant information and deep statistical data that tells a story of each seasons application numbers. Here they are:

8000 Years on the Selway

For two summers, I have been able to row gear boats down the Selway to support this archaeology research. My view has been that of the laymen, the novice archeologist, the boater. At the end of each summer's trip, I have interviewed Jeff Adams of Interior West Consulting to hear the onsite interpretation of what was recorded over the past 8 days. The stone artifacts tell a story. The river and its perfect water add to the story. While I find it stubbornly awkward to make assumptions about a human existence a few hundred years ago to several thousand years ago, I absolutely thrive when I am able to contemplate my short life and how I am like, and am different from the humans who came before me. This show is two people sitting in an amazing place wondering about life beyond their own. https://www.facebook.com/theriverradius/?ref=bookmarks Also on Instagram at The River Radius, and https://www.theriverradius.com
