Check out Some of These Stars of the Stewardship World

Since 2002, the ACA has partnered with L.L. Bean to sponsor the Club Fostered Stewardship (CFS) Program. The CFS Program provides funding to clubs and organizations that undertake stewardship projects on waterways in their area. 

With the help of L.L. Bean, we have been able to provide nearly $130,000 to over 135 different stewardship initiatives since the program's inception.

This year's CFS Grant recipients are...

Anchorage Waterways Council
Boardman River Clean Sweep
Cahaba Riverkeeper
Greyhound Central Performance Academy

Colorado River Alliance

Friends of the Rappahannock

Friends of the Waterbury Reservoir

Illinois Paddling Council
