Welcome to the Rivershed Society of BC
Congratulations! Welcome to your new Plone site.
Who Are We?
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.
We invite you to browse our website, to learn as much as you can from us, and let us know what you think!

The Fraser River Basin
Consisting of 34 intricately linked and interdependant riversheds, the Fraser River Basin drains 21 million hectares (more than a quarter) of British Columbia. The Basin is the heart and soul of the province and is its economic engine with a current population of over 1.2 million people and a strong First Nations history going back thousands of years.
The Fraser Basin is experiencing a rapidly growing population and rapidly declining ecosystem health - the largest salmon river in the world is not healthy. But not all is lost. Each of us is connected with our river, and the decisions we make can help make our river strong.
