Overview
Since 2012, OARS has partnered with American Rivers and Friends of the Yampa to host the Yampa River Awareness Project (YRAP), an annual rafting trip that brings decision-makers, stakeholders and activists together to experience one of the last free-flowing rivers in the Colorado River Basin. This immersive journey fosters personal connections to the Yampa, inspiring long-term conservation efforts against threats like dams and diversions. A Guide to Fighting for Wild Rivers highlights a conservation model rooted in the legacy of early river crusaders like David Brower, Bus Hatch and Martin Litton, who proved that love for a place can drive real environmental victories.
