Western Rivers Conservancy

We’re honored to find Western Rivers Conservancy in the pages of Rebecca Solnit’s new book, The Beginning Comes After the End.

In October 2024, Solnit joined the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria and Western Rivers Conservancy on the banks of the Estero de San Antonio for a gathering to celebrate the return of 466 acres of ancestral land to the Tribe.

We’re proud of our partnership with Graton Rancheria which made conserving this special place possible—and touched to see the story find a place in Solnit’s work. Pick up a copy and read it for yourself.

More fly water open on the St. Joe River!

WRC just conserved the 585-acre Fishhook Creek property—purchasing it and transferring it to the Idaho Panhandle National Forests for permanent protection.

That’s 1 mile of the gin-clear St. Joe River and 0.6 miles of Fishhook Creek, now open to wade, cast, hike, hunt and explore.

Learn more about this conservation win at the link in our bio. And be sure to check out Idaho Fish and Game’s fishing seasons and rules before planning your outing!
