In twenty two years, Missouri River Relief has amassed an outstanding record: Cleaning over a million pounds of trash from the Missouri river shores and islands, conducting educational activities for over 30,874 students & teachers, and taking over 29,799 people out on the river to work for a better river environment.
Engaging 24 communities along the Missouri River to protect our drinking water, to ensure that the stewardship of the Missouri River remains strong, to protect and preserve this precious resource for future generations.
As we go along the river, we'll look for key individuals and groups to help create a community of Missouri River Action Teams (MoRATs) up & down the river to take action and help work for the health and beauty of the river for decades to come.
