OOPS General Meeting with Kate Ross Kuthe from Willamette Riverkeepers

Kate Ross Kuthe, Outreach & Education Manager -  Willamette Riverkeepers

Since 2008, Kate has engaged thousands of members of public, connecting
people to the river by facilitating and leading on-the-water experiences via
canoe or kayak, in addition to coordinating events such as our award winning
Paddle Oregon adventure, Great Willamette Clean Up, film festivals and
more. Kate also develops and manages many of Riverkeeper's communication
materials, e-newsletters, and social media accounts. An avid paddler, she
enjoys inspiring others to embrace Oregon's only National Water Trail- the
Willamette! With a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Siena College in Albany,
NY, she has a broad expertise in river issues, from working to educate
people about the Portland Harbor Superfund site, to Clean Water issues in
downtown Portland. Apart from the Willamette, one of her favorite expeditions
to date has been paddling the Green and Colorado Rivers from Wyoming to
Arizona, as documented in
the historical adventure film “Voyagers Without Trace." When not at
work, she loves exploring the outdoors with her family.

Kate will take us on a virtual tour of the celebrated Willamette River Water Trail, including new campsites, as well as share more about Willamette Riverkeeper's work, special events and other ways to get involved. She may even stump you with some trivia.

OOPS General Meetings are free and open to everyone. Join us for social hour from 6-7 and meeting from 7-8
