Join the National Committee for the New River (NCNR) and fellow volunteers and get dirty for the New River this Saturday, September 26. Meet at Shelter #1 at the Foster Falls Access of the New River Trail State Park at 9 a.m. Get in the river and get trash out until 1 p.m. Then join NCNR and your fellow volunteers for a lunch party back at Shelter #1.

Come dressed to get down, get dirty, and get wet. Wear closed-toe shoes—no flip-flops or Crocs—for safety’s sake.  You may want to bring a change of clothes for the lunch party. Call NCNR for more information:  336.982.6267 or e-mail courtney@ncnr.org.

NCNR envisions a permanently protected New River as a treasured natural resource.  The mission of NCNR is to advocate for successful protection of the New River, to restore eroding river and stream banks and enhance riparian habitat, and to permanently protect land along the River. NCNR works in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia’s New River watershed. The organization has protected over 5,500 acres of land important to the River’s water quality, scenic and natural values, and has restored more than 69 miles of river and stream bank.
