nToday is about dam removal and river restoration. It’s a day of river clean-up and of examining local and national policies that help – or harm! – rivers and the living things in and around rivers. It’s a day of activism – demanding anti-pollution laws and environmental justice.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nHere is the official website. Notice that this year’s Day of Action for Rivers has a special theme: Women, Water, and Climate Change.

nFind educational resources on rivers here and here.

n
n
nCheck out this short video about a river I once visited as it began its recovery after dams were removed.
