A birthday party with equal dashes of reunion, anniversary, and holiday cheer!  Please join us to celebrate the founding of Apalachicola Riverkeeper 25 years ago in 1998. Meet some of our founding members and board members past and present.   It began with a community gathering organized by people concerned about the long term health of the Apalachicola River and Bay. They hosted a forum in Eastpoint, Florida on December 7, 1998. Twenty five people attended and $610 was raised. Apalachicola River and Bay Watch, which later become Apalachicola Riverkeeper, was "born." 25th Celebration

Plants are windows into the landscape. They open the worlds of unseen, underlying geology and hydrology and teach us about the changing landscape. The Apalachicola River winds its way through sandhills, floodplain forests, swamps, and salt marshes, where it meets the Bay. Paddling the 107 miles from its start in Chattahoochee, day after day, spending hours looking at the plants along the riverside revealed the small-scale changes that ended in vastly different landscapes.

Biologists love to make lists; we can’t help it.  Usually they are species lists, but I am also known for my obsession for making lists of state license plates on a road trip.  My plan for RiverTrek was to take off my biology hat, or at least wear it around my neck, and just absorb the information, sights, and sounds I encountered.  I was not going to make any kind of species list!  That lasted for the first tenth of a mile of our 107+ mile journey…but we saw white pelicans!  Who can blame me?!?

November is the season of giving thanks. Join us in a shout out to the support crew that made RiverTrek 2023 a successful, fun, and safe expedition.  There are numerous moving parts to coordinating a successful RiverTrek trip. The paddling team could not have made the voyage without the incredible support and kindness of this reliable dynamic crew. Thank you to the many hands that made the load lighter. You provided knowledge, delectable dinners, safety support, kayaks, gear, humor–the list goes on! We are grateful! Meet the Support Crew
