Finally tonight, a story from PBS Student Reporting Labs, our high school journalism training program.

They traveled to Maryland to learn about one man's very unique job as a so-called riverkeeper.

Give a hand and get that up on the deck.

Going up.

My name is Fred Tutman, and I'm the riverkeeper on the Patuxent River for the last 21 years.

As the riverkeeper, I'm an advocate for clean water on the state's longest and deepest inside the state river.

This river doesn't go anywhere except Maryland.

My main mission as a riverkeeper is to not only protect the resource to the best we can,

so we do file lawsuits

and lobby for policy change and new laws and better laws, but also to preserve, particularly

on the Patuxent, the tradition of community activism.

I kind of stumbled into this work. I was a late life law student after a career in television

and radio. I just thought this was made for me. I grew up next to the

Patuxet River, and so this was my home river. I grew up as a boy playing on the river, having

little adventures. You know, kind of like Huck Finn or, you know, Mark Twain's novels. I was a kid who

played around building my homemade rats and trying to catch fish in various ways.

So the summer camps are a passion project of myself and the people who work here at Patuxent Rorykeeper.

All of us have had mentoring. All of us have had people who have been kind to us and shown us stuff along the way.

Everybody needs mentors.

I've seen kids really transformed.

I've seen kids come here scared of the water and leave this camp,

thinking, ah, I got this.
