The Tuolumne River: Ecology, Resource Management and Whitewater

Learn the basics of river natural history and management in the ultimate natural classroom: the Tuolumne River. Join us on a two-day raft trip down California's premier whitewater river as staff provide field demonstrations and on-river lectures about aquatic and riparian ecology, geology, geomorphology, hydrology, controversial water resource development and the rich human history of the river.

Experience the thrill of paddling down a class IV whitewater river and the beauty of camping in a wilderness setting on the banks of the state's first designated Wild and Scenic River. Walk away with an appreciation for the complexity and challenges associated with managing rivers as a public resource. 

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to interact with regional experts in river ecology and management in one of the state's most picturesque settings.
