Documentary -- Watershed Warriors
A documentary called "Watershed Warriors," produced by
RiversAreLife (RaL), offers an intimate look into the profound impact of
Friends of the Fox River's mission of protecting, preserving, and restoring the Fox River
watershed.
Watershed Warriors embody the spirit of FOTFR. The film showcases the efforts of FOTFR President Gary Swick and FOTFR Education Operations Director Jenni Kempf, who both exemplify a commitment to the river's well-being.
