Western Cares for the River Environment
Western
River Expeditions' guides work, live and play in truly pristine
natural settings. For over 40 years, our goal has been to minimize
the impact of our visit by living the "take only photos,
leave only footprints" philosophy. We work hard to maintain
our natural surroundings
picking up litter (even the tiniest
food scrap), managing and carrying out human waste, setting up
cots and tents only in certain areas, and hiking just on designated
trails. On the trips where we use motorized rafts, we use the
quietest and cleanest technology available. We recycle and use
recycled products. We teach our guests how to respect and care
for the environment.

the finest environmentally conscious organizations in the nation:
