Since the organization was founded, Living Lands & Waters has grown to be the only “industrial strength” river cleanup organization of its kind in the world, according to its website.
Spending up to nine months a year living and traveling on the barge, the Living Lands & Waters crew hosts river cleanups, watershed conservation initiatives, workshops, tree plantings and other key conservation efforts.
