Join us for our 5th annual invasive species eradication trip on the Upper Sacramento River.

This event is brought to you by the River Exchange, with the generous support of River Dancers Rafting and Kayaking Co., who will provide all rafting gear, and the U.S. Forest Service, who will provide all tools needed for the bank restoration work.
