Then and Now: 25 Years of Change in River Restoration and the Environmental Movement
This year marks the 25th anniversary of RRNW—a milestone we’ll be highlighting throughout the year in a variety of ways, from storytelling and reflections to community connections that honor where we’ve been and where we’re headed. As we celebrate this moment, it offers a valuable opportunity to look back at how both RRNW and the broader environmental field have evolved over the past quarter century.
