Katelyn Scott and Greg Gordon wrote this Op-Ed to draw attention to the privatization of the river’s waterfront. They call attention to the environmental impacts and lack of public involvement in the permitting process.
Anne Tenold reflects on trust—how it’s built, how it can be eroded, and what true stewardship looks like, whether in protecting a community’s water or managing capital. Her latest piece explores these ideas in the context of our partnership with Vickerman.

Hangman Creek is known for it’s muddy waters that frequently follow rain on snow events or thunderstorms-an unfortunate result of losing the riparian vegetation and floodplains in the watershed. However, the muddy waters that followed late May’s thunderstorms in 2026 was worse than we’ve ever seen.
