关于我们

We are a non-profit organization whose mission is “to support professionals who study, protect and manage North America’s rivers.” We do so by developing and hosting workshops and open information-sharing events that enable anyone who works on, around or in service to rivers to learn and meet experts and enthusiasts. Our roots are in the former Interagency Whitewater Committee (est. 1972) and the 1996 merger of the American River Management Society (est. 1988) and River Federation (est. 1985). RMS advances the profession of river management by providing a unique variety of forums for sharing information about the appropriate use and management of river resources. RMS continues to build its base of expertise in all aspects of river management and stewardship including an ecosystem approach to recreation, water quality, riparian health, and watershed management. Besides creating multiple opportunities each year for river professionals to learn, train and network, RMS is growing partnerships that will help river professionals serve both our river resources and the people who use and enjoy them. We are the home of the River Training Center, National Rivers Project and River Studies and Leadership Certificate and support Wild and Scenic Rivers with online and in-person workshops to help folks understand how to better support rivers that are federally protected. Dedicated to holistic river management, our diverse membership includes river rangers and planners who work for regional, state and federal agencies; faculty and students, scientists, river conservation professionals and rafting and angling outfitters and enthusiasts. #RiverMgtSociety #TheRiverIsMyOffice #RiverManagement

  • We want to give a Symposium sized thanks to our gold sponsor The River Radius Podcast, whose mission is to foster respect & understanding of rivers so that there is conservation of rivers & riparian zones. Host, Founder, and Producer Sam Carter has been an RMS member for several years, and we’re stoked that he’ll be hosting our closing plenary at the 2025 Symposium with a live episode featuring youth from Paddle Tribal Waters. Sam interviewed PTW a couple of years ago and says, "This on stage interview will be uniquely revealing as we explore a free river with people who have known that river for centuries, even longer." The River Radius will launch a newsletter this year and has several multi-episode projects happening in the beginning of the year. You can tune in and subscribe to the River Radius Podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Give them a like and follow on social for bonus content and updates! ?? 2023 interview with Ruby Rain Williams of Paddle Tribal Waters at the Trinity River, a sister stream to Klamath.
