Meet people like you who have a passion for making the rivers we care about that much better for future generations! As an all-volunteer, local nonprofit, we rely on people like you to step up in many ways to make a difference, keep our chapter community strong and grow our impact through conservation projects and education programs. Volunteers help us:
- Make our rivers healthier by attending one-day events like trash cleanups and tree plantings
- Invest in the future by supporting our youth education programs, or serving as a mentor at a youth fishing day
- Lead the way by serving on one of our committees, or joining our board of directors
Whether you have the time to come out once a year to roll-up your sleeves for our rivers by finding a volunteer event that matches your interests or are looking for a deeper involvement or more frequent volunteer opportunities, we welcome everyone who has the time, talent and passion to make a difference.
To get started, connect with a Eagle Valley TU board member at one of our monthly gatherings or coming events, or contact us to learn more. U
