WATERSHED GUARDIAN VOICES
The human collaborators and guardians who are advocating for the Rights of Rivers
"Sustainability requires that the needs of all interrelated communities be respected. The use of rivers for water, power, and habitation will only contribute to a healthy world if is done in ways that heal and support natural systems, plants, and animals."
"Protecting our watershed provides resiliency in the face of climate change and enhances the quality of life in the North Country."
Jessica Rogers - St. Lawrence Land Trust

"Waters and waterways have and will exist independent of humans. The question is do we continue to degrade them to the detriment of the web of life they support (which includes us)? Or do we accept our responsibility to live alongside them in the reciprocal and beneficial way humans did for thousands of years before we colonizers asserted a false dominion over all of nature."
