Last night we walked into the Friends of the Crooked River River Rat Revelry annual meeting at the stunning Himelright Lodge at Cascade Valley Metro Park β and the vibes from a room full of Cuyahoga River-loving people are just something special. πΆπ
The evening was packed with updates that matter: Ohio EPA's Bill Zawiski spoke on water quality and the navigation channel, Ryan Ainger from Cuyahoga Valley National Park shared news on the Cuyahoga River Water Trail, and there was real momentum shared around watershed projects β including progress on the removal of the Gorge Dam.
This is the community doing the work behind the scenes so the rest of us get to paddle a healthier river. Grateful to be in that room. ππ
