Ottawa Riverkeeper is an independent voice for the Ottawa River, working to protect, promote and improve the health of the Ottawa River and its tributaries.
The presentation will be an introduction to the watershed and Ottawa Riverkeeper, the organization and the work they do. Renée will discuss some of their scientific initiatives like road salt monitoring and watershed health indicator tracking and volunteer opportunities. She will cover some invasive and endangered aquatic species and the why it is important to clean off boats when bringing them from another venue, or returning from a regatta or training event on another body of water.
