    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    Paddle through the beautiful waters of Neches river with the calming narrative of one of its most eloquent stewards.

    • Author: Richard M. Donovan
    • Softcover; 237 pages; color photographs
    • Texas A&M University Press; copyright 2008

    From its origins on a sandy hillside in Van Zandt County, the Neches River flows through the heart of east Texas. In its watershed lies some of the wildest country in Texas, tucked amid the remains of one of the finest hardwood forests in the world.

    With the goal of keeping the Neches flowing free, east Texas native and riverman Richard M. Donovan takes readers canoeing down a 200 mi. stretch of the upper Neches. Through 2 national forests and mile after mile of remote river woodlands, he chronicles the river's natural and cultural history, describes its animal inhabitants, recounts stores of early settlers and east Texas hunting traditions, and calls attention to the recreational potential of the river for paddlers and others, whether residents or visitors.

    Donovan also makes a case against damming the river. He convincingly promotes the idea of turning the Neches into a National Scenic River, preserving forever the river's natural flow and what remains of the verdant bottomlands of this historic watercourse.

    Imported.
