About Us

The Rivershed Society of BC (RSBC) formed in the wake of Fin Donnelly`s 1995 "Swim for Life" down BC's longest river, the Fraser River. Since its inception in 1996, the RSBC has been actively delivering public education programs, community initiatives, and building stewardship capacity in the Fraser River Basin.

We are a non profit organization dedicated to improving the health of both the Fraser River Basin and all those who live within the Basin.

Document Actions

: Human activity is a major contributor to the loss of rivershed biodiversity. So it is up to us to protect and conserve riversheds for present and future generations. The problem was caused by small thoughtless actions; it can be solved with small thoughtful ones. Here are some examples of resolutions you can make to lessen your impact on your rivershed:

Eat organic food just a few more days per week, meat a few fewer days per week, and OceanWise seafood and local foods as much as possible
Turn off any lights and electronics when not in use, use renewable energy when possible, and
Choose to purchase products with less packaging than their competitors
Take transit one more day per week
