After monitoring river conditions, current water levels, and the forecast for additional rainfall, we have made the decision to postpone this Saturday's River Rescue to our scheduled rain date of Saturday, June 27, 2026.

The safety of our volunteers is our top priority, and we believe postponing the event is the best decision given the anticipated conditions on the Lower James River.

Registrants should have received an email with more details.

It sounds cliche, but watching a kid catch a fish, any fish, but especially their first fish, is the best part of our jobs.
Thanks Watershed Committee of the Ozarks, Inc. for hosting as we led Rogersville 5th graders on a field trip around the park! Stream critters, fishing, guided hike, geology - this trip had it all!
