What inspires you to do this work?

The people and communities along the Columbia River inspire me to do this work. Being a part of a movement to create a better future excites me every day. When I walk along the Columbia River or paddle in its tributaries, I see the beauty and wonder in this water and know it is worth protecting the pulse of our communities.
