ROCK RIVER COALITION INC

Description

Rock River Coalition (RRC) began in 1994 when concerned community members met to bring attention to the Rock River Corridor, particularly around issues of tourism, natural resources, and education. People in their communities united, learned, and became inspired together which led to RRC becoming an incorporated nonprofit 501c3 organization in 1996.

Since then, RRC has continued to expand. In 2002, we added a volunteer stream monitoring program which has trained more than 400 individuals in monitoring water resources; currently 180+ are monitoring wadeable streams in the basin. We provide many ways to engage with the environmental resources of the region. Our stream monitoring program provides data about the water quality and quantity of our water sources. We additionally work with several counties for Aquatic Invasive Species prevention. And we provide educational opportunities for everyone to learn and engage with the environmental resources of the Rock River Basin.
