The Warren Water Striders is a group of paddling enthusiasts organized by Warren SWCD staff to promote conservation and recreation on the rivers and lakes of Warren County. Taking inspiration from the tiny bugs of the same name that can walk on water with specially adapted legs, the Warren Water Striders also enjoy life on the water!
The lakes and rivers of Warren County provide many benefits to the public and environment. In line with Warren SWCD's overall mission to promote wise stewardship of our natural resources, the Warren Water Striders' mission is to promote wise stewardship of our lakes and rivers through conservation and recreation. With the help of partner agencies and non-profits, The Warren Water Striders promotes wise stewardship by involving the public in paddling and river cleanup events. Join the Warren Water Striders for different kayak programs and river cleanups throughout the year, and let’s make strides in conservation! |
