Idaho Rivers United is a result-driven, campaign-oriented, conservation group formed in 1990 to help citizens defend the rivers they love. Since that time we have stopped construction of over 16 unnecessary and destructive new dams, led grassroots campaigns to protect and designate federal Wild & Scenic Rivers, and helped found the Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition, leaders of the national campaign to remove four salmon-killing dams on the lower Snake River in Eastern Washington.
Our mission is to protect and restore the rivers of Idaho. We achieve our conservation goals using a mix of direct advocacy, education, citizen involvement, collaboration and, when necessary, litigation.
IRU currently has 3,500 members, 14 active volunteer directors, and a staff of six full time and two part time river activists.
