?? At Rivers are Life, we believe in the power of collective action. Without collaborations like this one with Bass Pro Shops, our goal of completing 1,000 projects that positively impact our world's rivers would not be possible. A huge THANK YOU to Bass Pro Shops in Memphis for hooking us up with the gear we need to make this week’s cleanup on McKellar Lake a success! Your support is helping us make a great impact on our world's waterways. Together, we’re creating cleaner, healthier rivers for everyone! ???? #RiversAreLife #CleanUp #BassProShops #McKellarLake #CommunityAction #PreserveOurRivers #MakeADifference #Memphis #ProtectOurWaterways #Guidewear #InstinctBoots #SHEOutdoorBoots

Collaboration drives meaningful progress, and we’re proud to highlight one of our youngest River Heroes, Cash Daniels, also known as "The Conservation Kid."

Through our continued connection with Cash’s inspiring work, we’re thrilled to announce that we now offer limited signed copies of "One Small Piece" in our shop. Proceeds from these sales contribute directly to advancing river conservation initiatives. By supporting this collaboration, you’re amplifying the voice of a remarkable young advocate and helping to protect rivers everywhere.
