Rivers Are Life Teams Up with Trout Unlimited for New Expeditions Program

Midland, MI / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2024 - Rivers are Life has announced a new partnership with Trout Unlimited. Trout Unlimited is a national nonprofit organization that focuses on conserving coldwater rivers and streams to ensure healthy waterways and fisheries. Rivers are Life will be the official cleanup sponsor for Trout Unlimited Expeditions, aimed at educating teens and college students on local watershed issues.
