American Rivers' monthly e-newsletter, The Current
[[link removed]]Semptember 2019
Dear John,
One of the best things about enjoying a river? It’s free. Yes, healthy rivers
are economic drivers, vital to the outdoor industry – every year Americans spend
$86 billion on watersports – but you can also dip your toes in the water and
soak in the scenery without spending a dime. It’s all yours: these rivers belong
to you.
In this issue of The Current we’re celebrating recreation, from New York’s Bronx
River to North Carolina’s Tuckasegee, to Oregon and California’s Klamath. As you
make the most of the final weeks of summer, I hope these stories inspire you to
get out and find your own river adventure.

As wildfire season continues in the U.S. west, it's important to remind everyone
that the health of forests is directly connected to the health of rivers, and
forest fires are very bad for both! In a podcast from last year, we discussed
this relationship.
