Connect with Others

Networking is one of the key components for participation in The River Mile. The River Mile’s website and ArcGIS Online maps provide information, methodology, a way to share and present data collected by groups, as well as Columbia River Watershed data layers available for educational use. Also, there are quarterly electronic newsletters and regularly scheduled webinars.
