A Boston couple, Gail and Tom Hartman, are having marital problems, mostly due to Tom, an architect, spending so much time working. Gail, a history teacher and former river guide, is taking their son, Roarke, on a rafting trip down the Salmon River in Idaho, along with their dog, Maggie. Their daughter, Willa, is staying behind with Gail's parents in Idaho. Tom, who had remained in Boston, unexpectedly joins them at the last minute. As they are setting off, they meet three other rafters, Wade, Terry, and Frank, who appear to be friendly.
The Hartmans catch up with the trio during a day break, and notice that Frank is no longer with Wade and Terry. They explain that he hiked out after an argument. Unfortunately, he was their guide, and Wade and Terry lack any rafting experience. Gail offers to guide them down the rest of the river. Before getting back on the water, Maggie wanders off and becomes curious about something in the brush farther up the canyon. Tom fetches her before she uncovers it, and they return to the raft.
The Hartmans are forced down the river at gunpoint before setting up camp for the night. During the night, Tom tries and fails to wrestle the gun away from Terry. Tom runs into the river with Wade chasing him, but he escapes. Wade lies, telling Gail and Roarke that Tom is dead. The next day they run into Johnny, who knows that Gail intends to run the Gauntlet, and warns her not to try. Wade shoots him and throws his body into the rapids.
Principal photography began on August 4, 1993. Many of the film's whitewater scenes were filmed on the Kootenai River.[3] Other scenes were filmed on the Ruby Horsethief section of the Colorado River, the Rogue River in Southern Oregon, and the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. The locations necessitated specialized whitewater river professionals to perform the river stunts and provide the needed safety for Streep and other cast members.[3] Streep did several of her own stunts in the film on the milder river sections. The major whitewater stunts were performed by expert professional river guide Kelley Kalafatich who was hired as Streep's stunt double for the movie.[3]
There was a scare at the end of one day of filming when Hanson asked Streep to shoot one more scene, to which she objected because of her exhaustion. However, she decided to attempt it, and weak from fatigue, was swept off the raft into the river and was in danger of drowning; she did not drown because of her personal flotation device and the river rescue team. Afterwards she said to Hanson, \"In the future, when I say I can't do something, I think you should believe me,\" to which he agreed.[4]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times also said the best elements of the film were its cinematography, which he described as \"great looking\", and the performances of Bacon and Streep; he described the latter as \"putting a lot of humor and intelligence into her character\".[13] However, Ebert identified serious flaws in the strength of the plot, remarking that, \"movies like this are so predictable in their overall stories that they win or lose with their details...The River Wild was constructed from so many ideas, characters and situations recycled from other movies that all the way down the river I kept thinking: Been there\".[13] He emphasized the lack of credibility in the storyline and sheer impossibility of some scenes, particularly involving Strathairn as he outruns the pace of the river, and his scenes with the cliff and his Swiss Army knife.[13]
The Nature Conservancy has made major strides in protecting one of the most important and intact river systems in Southern California. The Santa Clara River is a vital source of drinking water for the local community, as well as a key resource for many prosperous farms. It also offers some of the last riverside and freshwater habitat for wildlife in the bustling Los Angeles-Ventura region. Despite its local and regional ecological importance, the lower Santa Clara River is threatened by invasive non-native vegetation, intense levee building, poor water quality, conversion from agriculture to urban land uses and increasing development in the floodplain. In 2005, American Rivers designated the Santa Clara River as one of the most threatened rivers in the nation.
Starting high up in the Angeles National Forest in Los Angeles County, flowing down into Ventura County and into the estuary at McGrath State Beach, the Santa Clara River and its tributaries are surrounded by more than 12 million people. As the population soars, urban sprawl bears down on the river and its watershed, threatening:
Much of our work along the river focuses on habitat restoration through invasive species removal. But equally important is preserving farmland within the floodplain to maintain the relatively natural and undeveloped state of the river and floodplain.
When TNC launched the Santa Clara River project in 1999, Southern California was at the peak of one of its largest real-estate booms, with building plans being approved as fast as they were proposed. It became clear that protecting the 84-mile-long river and its numerous tributaries would require a buffer zone between the river and the developed areas. Threatened farmland could provide that buffer.
The Hanson nature preserve is nearly 1,000 acres of river and upland habitat, spanning almost two miles of the Santa Clara River. The preserve is in unincorporated Ventura County at the end of Mission Rock Road, off the Briggs road exit on CA State Route 126. Since purchasing this property in 2004, TNC has worked with various partners, such as the California State Coastal Conservancy, the Wildlife Conservation Board, and Caltrans, to restore nearly 250 acres of this former gravel mine site. This work has included extensive removal of the non-native Arundo plant, wetland creation, and planting with native plants. Restored native riparian forest in the project area supports several state and federally listed species of birds, fish, and reptiles.
Molly Hanson stepped into a contentious battle over water in Iowa. Hundreds of Iowa river segments are classified as impaired, and Des Moines Water Works is suing drainage districts in three Iowa counties for its farmland runoff.
Heathcote says the examples of economic benefits to communities who utilize their rivers from recreation and tourism are mounting, led by three whitewater park projects on rivers through Charles City, Elkader and Manchester.
Her earth science degree in 2009 eventually led to a job as a naturalist at Madison County Conservation in 2012. Then the Iowa Rivers Revival job came up. The organization started nearly 10 years ago because river advocates realized there were disparate groups involved in recreation or advocating for specific rivers but no statewide organization to advocate for river improvements.
