"It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations."
-- Wild and Scenic Rivers Act

 

Leveraging Funding Sources

Since the inception of the Partnership Wild and Scenic Rivers management model, river partners from the eight states have been successful in leveraging scarce resources to implement their respective river management plans. Leveraging funds from the private sector, local, state, and federal governments, the river partners have attained a level of river management that would not be possible with government-only support.

Presented here are funding opportunities for river partners and other folks interested in protecting watersheds.
