Founded in 1985 as a non-profit, grassroots conservation organization. We work to educate everyone about the river and to advocate for actions and policies that will protect and restore the Rappahannock River.
MISSION
To be the voice and active force for a healthy and scenic Rappahannock River.
Vision
- A Rappahannock River… that is clean and safe for fish consumption and recreation from its Headwaters to its confluence with the Chesapeake.
- A Rappahannock River… that supports a healthy and diverse aquatic ecosystem, with submerged grasses, oysters, crabs and other species returned to their historic levels and productivity.
- A Rappahannock River Watershed… where land use and runoff is managed to protect and enhance our riparian habitats, downstream waters, scenic viewsheds and historical resources.
- A Rappahannock River Community… where the citizens and local governments are educated about river stewardship, where they take a sense of personal stewardship over the river resource, and where they take action in their own backyards and communities to protect it.
