For more than 30 years, Save The River has been the leading environmental advocate working to protect and preserve the Upper St. Lawrence River.

Save The River is a grassroots advocate, working with thousands of year-round and seasonal members, on both the U.S. and Canadian sides of the River, to ensure that the St. Lawrence River and Thousand Islands are protected for future generations. Our advocacy positions - from acting as a watchdog on St. Lawrence Seaway issues to fighting for environmentally sound water levels regulation - are based on independent science and community outreach.
