We’re bringing New meaning to working together.
When you support the New River, you support all of the water and all of the life along it — including yours. We see our job as an opportunity to protect the river while connecting our river community to each other.
That’s why we’re extending our hand, and as a result, our reach, to more people and organizations, helping bridge the conversations and opportunities that will increase awareness and the drive to help, no matter your role. Ecologists, nature lovers, adventure seekers, philanthropists, students and teachers, businesses, lobbyists, landowners, government officials, and people of every background, race, age and ability — everyone can help protect and improve the river.
When the federal government expressed a goal to move our country to more green building projects, the NRC helped certify 35 governmental engineers and contractors in green infrastructure engineering. When universities, such as Appalachian State, Radford and Virginia Tech, come to us with the next generation of biologists, conservationists and green innovators, we become the center of their course curriculum and allow them to inspire our thinking as much as we’ve inspired them.
Get in touch with our Marketing and Communications Director, Lisa Stansell-Galitz at lisa@newriverconservancy.org so that we can support your desire to be more sustainable.
The New welcomes us and depends on us all.
