    Western Rivers Conservancy’s mission is to protect outstanding river ecosystems in the western United States. We acquire land to conserve critical habitat, provide public access for compatible use and enjoyment, and cooperate with other agencies and organizations to secure the health of whole ecosystems. We partner with long-term stewards like the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, state parks, Native American tribes and universities to ensure our conservation results are permanent. WRC has created sanctuaries for fish and wildlife and secured recreational access along more than 200 rivers and streams around the West. Our approach is effective, tangible and permanent.
