Rafting Asheville NC

Many thanks to Gary Peeples at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for organizing this fascinating seminar about the French Broad River. The seminar included speakers and experts involved with stream and river quality and monitoring at RiverLink in Asheville, NC, as well as experts in the fields of invasive species, stream entomology, native plant ID, and fish ecology and identification. Add to that, instruction on the art of interpretation, and we had a fun, educational, and enlightening day. Sort of like being on a whitewater rafting trip. So the next time you are on a whitewater rafting trip with Blue Heron Whitewater don't be surprised if you see your guides turning over river rocks looking for hellgrammites to show the kids, or talking about the effects of sediment on river quality. Now when you ask your guide the name of that tree, or what kind of fish are in the French Broad River, you might actually be getting accurate information.
