Mission & History

South River Watershed Coalition

Safeguarding an entire watershed requires collective action. The South River Watershed Coalition mobilizes communities and businesses in the Shenandoah Valley to better understand the vital nature of our South River and take action to protect it. Join us in improving awareness of the interconnectivity of our environment and the benefits of restoring and protecting the South River watershed.
