Not all heroes wear capes...
Follow the journey: 320 miles of the New
The New River Expedition is part adventure, part field assessment and part love letter to a river that winds through some of the most iconic landscapes in the southern Appalachians. The expedition supports the continued development of the New River Water Trail, a three-state paddling route designed to connect people with the river’s scenic beauty, wildlife, cultural history and Appalachian communities.
With the New River at our feet, think of all that flows our way:
the explorations and adventures, the community, the serenity, the source of life. The New River watershed is home to some of the most biologically diverse species in the world — and its health is interconnected with our own. As a knowledgeable, grateful and passionate protector, the New River Conservancy uses land preservation strategies and science-based restoration programs to protect this irreplaceable national treasure that connects us and feeds us — mind, body, and soul.
