This summer, the New River Conservancy (NRC) hopes to draw attention to a broader story of connectedness of New River watershed residents through the New River Expedition 2026. (NRX26) Beginning in Todd, North Carolina on June 2, and traveling all the way to the confluence of the Gauley River in Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, the NRX26 is on its way to paddling a 320 mile adventure throughout the entire New River watershed.
The NRX26 crew is discovering and experiencing the watershed in a way few get to do. “We want people to experience the expedition vicariously because they are going places that many, many people don’t get to see,” NRC Communications and Marketing Director, Lisa Stansell – Galitz said.
