Rally for Clean Water

Rally for Clean Water
Protect Our Water Jackson Hole
The Center Theater
September 8 | Doors 4:00 PM | Presentation 7:00 PM

Join us at our Rally for Clean Water! This FREE event will be an opportunity to bring the community together to raise awareness, discuss solutions, and inspire action for the water quality issues facing Teton County. There will be fun and interactive exhibits for the whole family!

For long-term water protection, we need broad awareness and cooperation amongst individuals, businesses, elected officials, and visitors. This event will share science-based information about the state of our water and our urgent need for local clean water initiatives.

The good news is that this is a solvable problem! We can reduce the pressure on our water resources – but it will take a concerted effort by our whole community. Learn about opportunities to prepare – not react, to water quality issues affecting our drinking water, streams, and rivers, and how climate changes will impact our waterways. We’ll provide solutions that each of us can accomplish at a personal level. Together, we can create very impactful changes. If we focus on the future, Jackson Hole, as a headwaters community, could become a shining example of forward-thinking water quality solutions.

Our Keynote speaker, Dr. F. Richard (Ric) Hauer will share his knowledgable and powerful message about the importance of protecting water quality in gravel-bed river ecosystems, like the Snake River, from the effects caused by human impacts. Ric is the lead scientist of the research team on a recently published study about “Invisible Rivers” and protecting water quality in gravel-bed floodplains that support our entire ecosystem.
