Ripple Effects is a sub-series of American Rivers’ podcast We Are Rivers, focusing on the connections local communities have with their rivers.

In Episode 1 of Ripple Effects we visit the town of Montrose, CO, where like many other communities in Colorado understand the importance of a healthy, flowing river for their community. Tune in today to learn more about the connection the City of Montrose has with the Uncompahgre River and the collaborative nature of the river recreation and restoration process the community has engaged in.

We invite you to join us in our new We Are Rivers mini series, Ripple Effects, as we hear more about Colorado river towns like Montrose, that have reconnected with their local river experienced the ripple effects that only a local river can provide.
