We are heading into our 4th year of educational seminars about one of the PNW's treasured rivers, the White Salmon. Follow us as we prepare and plan this event, to give back to a river that has supplied us with endless amounts of excitement, swims and memories.
Regular updates will be provided through this blog as well as through the White Salmon River Fan Page on Facebook.com (so become a fan)! Check out our first blog entry for 2009:

How is this organization connected with our event?
It is important, for everyone, to understand what role the Headwater's Institute plays in our White Salmon Riverfest & Symposium. But first, I'd like to share with you what the Headwater's Institute stands for.
The Headwater's Institute was formed by a small group of river enthusiasts to provide education that inspires individuals and communities to care for and connect with their watershed. HWI is a non-profit organization and consists of volunteers who organize events locally and nation-wide. HWI is supported and endorsed by American Whitewater, American Rivers, River Network and many more.
What is a watershed? We all live in a watershed. It surrounds the entire landscape between moutain ridgelines and the coastlines that surround our continents. Watersheds contain multiple layers of life which are all fundamentally connected by the water that flows through their creeks, rivers, estuaries, and wetlands.
HWI was created to assist and enhance annual educational seminars for guides and educators to teach, learn and share their common passion for rivers, coasts, lakes and their watersheds. This is where HWI comes into play on our very own White Salmon River.
By teaming up with HWI, we are given a structure which helps us put together a well-designed Watershed Education Seminar on the White Salmon River.
With HWI's support and guidance, we can join others in uniting our rivers nationwide. For example, HWI seminars are held on the American River in California, the Denali River in Alaska, the Snake and the Rio Grande, just to name a few. With HWI giving us support and structure we all have a common goal: To provide natural history, conservation, and interpretive trainings for all. These seminars encourage and promote a deeper public understanding of the importance of healthy rivers and their watershed ecosystems from ridgeline to coastline.
