River Sojourn Organizer's Guide

"Citizens increasingly view natural resources as an environmental endowment to future generations. Any occasion to have fun outdoors and at the same time educate the local communities about the issues facing a watershed is viewed as a unique opportunity. This manual will lead the reader through the process of organizing a River Sojourn to raise awareness about local watershed issues. Much of the guidance contained in this manual derives from the experiences of successful Sojourn organizers" - from page 1.
