RiverWays: The River Goers’ Guide to River Etiquette

RiverWays is a beautiful and practical guide for visiting rivers with care and consideration. This book of watercolors and poetry will help protect all rivers, their visitors, and the communities living near them.

It’s too late to say Shh, don’t tell them about our river.

Our favorite rivers spots continue to be widely shared on social media and used now more heavily than ever. In the summer of 2020, when the pandemic prohibited air travel and folks fled to the rivers, the damage that occurred by the impact of humans on the ecosystem of rivers is still being revealed, still being healed.

This booklet will help visitors understand what considerate river use is all about. Watercolors by Chula Gemignani, depicting river scenarios, accompanied by playful and contemplative poems by Meredith Heller offer a fun way to learn about river etiquette.

No river is named, making this a guide for rivers everywhere, while keeping your secret spots, secret.
