**Description**: The Willamette River is a sacred place for most paddlers. It offers the serenity of the valley as we paddle upstream of the falls, the magic of the narrows formed from basalt islands and coves, the wonder of the falls, hidden from view from the casual observer, and the sights and sounds as we paddle through the heart of a city with over half a million residents.

The Willamette is our gem. However, keeping our river healthy and a safe place to recreate doesn't happen by accident. It takes work. One of the entities dedicated to the health of the river is the Willamette Riverkeeper. This is a special opportunity to hear from the riverkeepers about their mission to tend to the river, the opportunities and events that they regularly offer to the general public, and ways that we can help their efforts to maintain the river that flows 187 miles through the heart of the Willamette Valley.

We will meet at Gehlar Hall, an educational classroom located at Ankeny Hill Nature Center just south of Salem. This is conveniently located between Portland and Eugene, just a couple minutes off I-5. I look forward to seeing you there!
