The Animas Expedition

When athletes join forces with scientists, great things are bound to happen. In this case, professional athlete, 14er Ski Record holder, mountain guide, and former Navy SEAL Josh Jespersen gathers a crew and pack rafts into the remote Animas River wilderness. The teams goal is to collect water samples for a reclamation project and shred the mountains of the watershed along the way. The following is what the film makers have to say about the expedition.

The Animas Expedition intends to rally a larger army of diverse advocates in defense of the natural world. The film stresses that anyone, anywhere can be a champion of conservation and a staunch defender of wild places. An expedition into the unknown is but one way to engage in this fight. We all can do something, even if it is as simple as putting water in bottles.
