River Keepers is a small nonprofit based in Fargo, North Dakota, established in 1990 to address perceived underuse, underappreciation, and mistreatment of the Red River. The organization coordinates efforts among local agencies in conservation, safety, recreation, riparian restoration, and water quality to improve the river’s condition and the region’s relationship with it. Its work targets communities in the Fargo–Moorhead area, aiming to educate residents about the Red River so they can help protect and safely enjoy it. A notable recent development includes a partnership with the City of Moorhead to offer kayak and canoe rentals at Hjemkomst Landing, reflecting collaboration to increase river access and recreational opportunities.
