Hello and happy spring FRA supporters and river lovers! It’s that time of year again, when we start to dust off the rafts, pull out all the camping, fishing and floating gear from the back of the garage and keep our eyes more attuned to river flows and gauges. Ahhhh, spring! For FRA, it also means we are gearing up for a summer full of activities, and we are going to need your help and participation to succeed. We thrilled to announce that in coordination with Flathead National Forest and Glacier National Park, we are launching the FRA River Ambassador program THIS SUMMER. We are looking for volunteers to serve as River Ambassadors. These representatives will essentially act as liaisons with the public at popular river access sites, and disseminate information about river safety and etiquette. Our Ambassadors will also have the opportunity to collect data related to river use in order to supply our agency partners with accurate and current information. This is our first year so we are still sorting out logistics, and there may be other tasks and opportunities for our Ambassadors to tackle this summer. If you are interested in being an FRA River Ambassador we invite you to join us at an information and training session on May 17th from 6-8pm at the Montana House in Apgar Village (Glacier National Park). Please RSVP to info@flatheadrivers.org so we can plan accordingly. Also, WE ARE HIRING! FRA is seeking an energetic and passionate river advocate to serve as our first Watershed Coordinator for the summer 2021 season. Please visit www.flatheadrivers.org/employment for job description and information about applying for this exciting summer role.
FRA’s Watershed Coordinator and River Ambassador Program is being supported by funding from the Flathead Resource Advisory Committee and the Whitefish Community Foundation.
