River Rendezvous | Missouri River Conservation Districts Council

The River Rendezvous is an annual event hosted by MRCDC and a local conservation district to highlight projects or issues on the Missouri River, focusing on a specific part of the watershed each year. These tours are often on the river itself, allowing a diverse group of stakeholders to see natural resource concerns and the projects and partnerships formed to address them firsthand. Our hope is that River Rendezvous participants will bring the knowledge they gain back to their specific area of the watershed.
