Helene Recovery Plan

Our communities rely on the river.
The role of the New River Conservancy is to restore the river and ensure it’s critical role as a support system for local economies and livelihoods remains viable. Consider direct to business donations that support the livelihoods most impacted by Helene.

Everyone must do more.
Shopkeepers stepped up to organize rescues and restaurant owners passed out supplies instead of repairing their restaurants. Everyone must rise to the occasion and the New River Conservancy is no different.  We’re preparing to expand our volunteer clean-up and restoration efforts to address the scale of impact.  View upcoming clean ups in your area.

Preparing for long-term recovery.
Building back, and continuing to protect the river and build better river-based recreation resources will be a long process led by town, county and state governments. The New River Conservancy must effectively support these efforts so communities of the New River have the maximum access to resources. We’re starting the New River Community Action Fund to provide our small-government partners with a cash match to improve their ability to pursue recovery and restoration grants that directly address impacts to public parks.

Give to the greatest need
Helene has created a dynamic recovery situation.  Support the New River Conservancy’s ability to adapt to challenges by giving to the greatest need.
