Ribbons of Life

Rivers are the foundation of life in the arid Southwest. At the river’s edge is the riparian (riverside) area, often called a “ribbon of life” for its importance in sustaining diverse plants and animals.

The benefits of riparian areas span far beyond providing food and habitat for fish and wildlife into economic, recreational, and agricultural prosperity. 
 
Discover how RiversEdge West improves the health of riparian ecosystems while promoting the economic, social, and cultural well-being of communities in the American West.
