In 2018, we set a high bar for ourselves with the launch of RiverNET, the inaugural project of our new initiative Envision Yellowstone. And if anything, 2019 has been even better, as you will see in our annual RiverNET summary. But perhaps our proudest accomplishment is the realization of Envision Yellowstone’s pilot program transitioning from a YERC project to a Community Science Co-Op. Without your support, your volunteer time, your donations, your interest in science and your passion for the Yellowstone, we wouldn’t have been able to carry out this endeavor. Thank you, and we look forward to continuing to work with (and for) you in the coming year!
