Environmental Education & Outreach
KRWP programs are based on Kings River ecology, sustainability, conservation, and human dimensions, with an additional focus on research. The partnership aims to create a more informed citizenry, identify environmental challenges and opportunities, and develop proactive strategies for watershed management and monitoring.
The partnership provides opportunities for landowners and citizen scientists to explore conservation benefits, make connections with the watershed, and monitor water quality. We hope to foster a deep understanding of the Kings River system that will keep the river a sustainable, thriving natural resource for generations to come.
