Spokane Riverkeeper

Jerry White Jr was born in Corvallis, Oregon near the Willamette River. His family moved to Cheney where he grew up exploring the lakes, rivers and forests of the area.  From a young age he traveled each spring to fish for native Chinook salmon with his grandfather on the Willamette.

Jerry has a long history of working to protect rivers in the Inland Northwest. As a former staff member of Save our Wild Salmon, Jerry advocated for the restoration and protection of native Snake River salmon and steelhead.  He has worked for native trout as conservation chair and continues to volunteer for the Spokane Falls Chapter of Trout Unlimited as an Advisory Board Member.

Jerry loves to spend time on the Spokane River fly fishing for trout, rowing his drift boat.  Jerry currently lives with his wife within earshot of the Spokane River.
