RIVER SWEEP


RIVER
SWEEP

RiverSweep-logoThe Foundation for Ohio River Education (FORE) teaches people of all ages in the Ohio River Basin to become environmental stewards through hands-on programs that get people on the water and engaged in preserving the cultural, ecological, and economic value of our rivers.

Litter is collected along the shores of the Ohio River coming from various sources including the streets of the surrounding towns, sewers, recreationists and storm water. River Sweep is a volunteer shoreline cleanup of the Ohio River. During a single day in 2013, 18,000 people volunteered and removed approximately 7,000 tons of trash and debris along more than 3,000 miles of shoreline (from Pennsylvania to Illinois) along the Ohio, Allegheny, Monongahela, Beaver and Kentucky Rivers were cleaned.

Since 1989, this event has been organized by ORSANCO and jointly sponsored by the environmental agencies in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. If River Sweep did not exist, most of the collected trash would continue along the Ohio River, one day reaching the ocean and ultimately interfere with the normal biological processes of the Ohio River.

RIVER DISCOVERY CENTER

RIVER DISCOVERY CENTER

Hidden Highways

The River Discovery Center is a private, non-profit, educational institution whose primary mission is to stimulate an interest in and teach the public about the importance of America’s rivers to the development of the nation, and in particular upon the Four Rivers Region.

For twenty years, a group of people from Paducah realized and filled a need for a river/maritime museum. The River Discovery Center has used a variety of exhibits, including some interactive, to highlight and educate people on the importance of Paducah’s rich river history as well as the river industry.

It is critical that the next generation of our community be educated on the importance of our rivers. While providing a water source for our region, our rivers also play a vital role in our environment and economy; after all, Paducah’s existence gives thanks to it’s geographical location on a river. Before the River Discovery Center opened, there was no place for our children to become “connected” to our rivers. Here, they have a place for fun learning about all aspects of our rivers.
