Riverkeeper named 2009 River Champion

The River Alliance of Wisconsin named Milwaukee Riverkeeper one of three River Champions for 2009.  Riverkeeper was joined by former state representative David Martin and river steward Peter Henry.

River Alliance had this to say:

Milwaukee Riverkeeper has been a reliable and effective advocate for Milwaukee’s rivers by tracking pollution spills, monitoring water quality, and championing the rivers locally and at state and federal levels.
