Our Outreach Programs

Like all of the programs at the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center, our outreach programs are based on foundational research and concepts in large river ecology, sustainability, conservation, and human dimensions, with additional focus on NGRREC research. The programs aim to create a more informed citizenry, and identify environmental challenges and opportunities, and strategies concerning watershed management and monitoring. Many of our programs provide opportunities for landowners and citizen scientists to explore conservation benefits, make connections with local watersheds and monitor water quality. We hope our outreach programs will foster a greater understanding of large river systems that ultimately leads to a sustainable natural resource.
