Spring is nearly here, and that means it’s time to stretch, shake the winter off your legs, and get some mud on your boots as the weather warms and the trails clear — at least at lower elevations.
To help plan your first hikes of the year, we’ve included a link to our Springtime River Hikes article from last spring’s issue of Instream. Written by WaterWatch’s John DeVoe with Tommy Hough, the article features six low-elevation hiking and cycling outings along some of Oregon’s best-known rivers. And to stay hydrated and show your support, bring along one of our brand new, 40th anniversary insulated water bottles from YETI to quench your thirst and show off your support for Oregon’s cherished rivers and WaterWatch.
These limited edition, 26-ounce water bottles feature our custom Oregon Rivers design, which names many of our state’s most beloved rivers and basins — which also mark sites of important WaterWatch projects over the last four decades. As seen above, the bottles are available in four colors (left to right): canopy green, black, sea foam, and navy blue.
You can get your water bottle by:
- Becoming a new monthly sustaining member at $10 per month, or more.
- Increasing your monthly sustaining membership amount by $10 per month, or more.
- Making a one-time donation of $150, or more.
By joining WaterWatch, you’ll make a lasting, immediate impact towards protecting and restoring instream flows in Oregon’s world-class rivers. Get your custom WaterWatch YETI water bottle today!
