New Marine Board Boating/Towing Restrictions

Robinwood resident Erin Patterson joined RNA president A.J. Handegard to discuss the new boating/towing restrictions approved by the Marine Board at the end of January 2021. The audio interview is posted in the below YouTube videos and is broken up into three parts. Erin also shared links and contact information for anyone wishing to get involved in future decision making processes regarding river usage. This contact information is posted below the videos.

Thank you,

A.J.
