Join the Riverkeeper Monitoring Program

The Riverkeeper Monitoring Program is running every Thursday in July and August from 9AM to 12PM at the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center.

This is a great way to become more confident when identifying native vs. invasive species, chemical foam, and other indicators of river health. We can all keep our river safe, which is why this program is open to all ages.

Part of the day will be spent on the water in kayaks, so you’ll attain hands-on experience in the river. Just don’t forget to pack sunscreen and some water for the ride.

You can register today by calling the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center at (315) 482-2479. Please email education@savetheriver.org to be notified of future volunteer training sessions.

Feel confident being the eyes and hears of the river and always call in suspicious stuff to Save the River at (315) 686-2010.

Be a Safe Boater

Boating on the St. Lawrence River can be difficult for even the most experienced mariners. To be as safe as possible, boaters should always:

• Use navigation charts at all times. Remember not all shoals are marked!
• Pay careful attention to weather forecasts.
• Wear life preservers and be sure your boat has appropriate safety equipment. 

Interested in Volunteering?

We are always looking for volunteers to help with the spring placement and fall removal of shoal markers. We aim to have the markers in place by May 15th and leave them in place until October 15th. If you are on the river and available in May and/or October please contact us at info@savetheriver.org to learn more.

Found a Marker?

If you find a marker that has come loose from its marked location, contact Save The River at (315) 686-2010 to have it picked up and placed back in its appropriate location.
