The Russian River is our region’s most vital natural resource. Russian River Keeper, a local non-profit, protects and restores our watershed environment for the benefit of current and future generations.
Don McEnhill
Deputy Director, Russian River Keeper
This past April, California Senate leader, Mike McGuire, recognized and honored our speaker, Don McEnhill, on the Senate floor saying:
“Don McEnhill is one-of-a-kind. He has dedicated his life to protecting the Russian River, which is the source of life for the North Bay and one of our most precious natural resources. Thanks to his tenacious leadership, his ability to build bridges between communities, and downright grit, we can honestly say the Russian River is healthier now than it was 25 years ago”
Don will be joined by Ariel Majorana, Russian River Keeper’s Community Engagement Manager. Before joining the organization in 2020, Ariel worked in science education and youth development for 10 years. She has a master’s degree in education with a focus on equity and social justice.
