Subject: Sincere thanks

Mister Hertz,

We would like to thank you for your precious collaboration with the Rivers
Foundation and want to express our gratitude with a letter.

We want to thank you especially for all your actions regarding the Magpie River.
Your participation in preserving waterfalls and rapids is very important and
effective. Ecotourism is an industry that allows the preservation of our natural
resources while being financially beneficial. Its promotion is essential in helping
people to discover the wonders and greatness of Quebec's rivers.

Also, we greatly appreciate your efforts to mobilize the financial resources that
allowed the Magpie publicity to be published in the paper Le Devoir. We believe
that reaching people and raising awareness is the key to saving our collective
natural patrimony.

We hope our collaboration will continue for years to come.

Sinerely,

Michel Gauthier
Director

"Earth River is the premier river runner in the world. Their staff includes the finest guides to be found."

Robert Kennedy Jr.

“Eric Hertz and Robert Currie have devoted their lives and their company’s resources to saving some of the world’s last great white-water, wilderness rivers."

National Geographic Magazine

“I’ve rafted with Eric Hertz down some tough rivers—the Futaleufu in Chile,  the Colca in Peru.  He's one of the best in the business—obsessed with safety."

Mathew Mukash, Grand Chief of the Cree

"I want to personally thank Earth River for helping us stop the hydro-electric projects on our land preventing the destruction of one of North America's last great wildernesses."

Outside Magazine

“The absolute mastery of Robert Currie guiding in the back of the raft made every element of the Futaleufu river seem heightened, perfected, colorized, almost virtual."

Jacob Scherr, Dir. of Global Strategy, NRDC

“Earth River is more than a great whitewater outfitter. Their contributions have made a real difference in our efforts to preserve some of the world's most beautiful rivers in Chile and Canada."
