On Tuesday, May 17, Alpine Shop Kirkwood hosted a press conference organized by American Rivers, Friends of Ozark Riverways and Ozark Fly Fishers. The purpose of this publicity event was to announce that American Rivers - a national organization that protects and restores the nation's rivers and the clean water that sustains people, wildlife, and nature - had named Missouri's Ozark National Scenic Riverways one of the 10 Most Endangered Rivers in America. Below is the press conference in its entirety broken up into four parts. Get informed and visit American Rivers' Most Endangered List for information on how you can help the cause.
