Guardians of Our Troubled Waters

Guardians of Our Troubled Waters

Our rivers and streams were the lifeblood of our community, but in the industrial age, they became a sewer system for all manner of toxic effluence. However, the early river heroes, the Wilma Dykemans, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the Upper French Broad Defense Association and the Dead Pigeon River Council said NO to the destruction, inspiring river stewardship that still echoes today in those who have picked up the torch and run with it. We owe so much to our river heroes, yesterday and today. But the job is far from over. For more information on the full film, our work and to buy the DVD, visit SaveCulture.org
