Current Projects
RiverLink advances its mission through innovative and restorative projects, reclaiming or improving priority areas that influence the health of the French Broad River. Properly managed land and water resources support the environmental and economic vitality of the region, boost our local resilience to climate change, and inspire our community to visit and connect with these outdoor spaces. Our projects vary in scale from simple riverbank restorations to the creation of parks and greenways and science-based watershed management plans. Each of our endeavors is strategically chosen to create a stronger and more beautiful environment for the community to enjoy. We value and incorporate public input into our project plans wherever possible.
If you have any thoughts about our work, or opportunities for future projects, feel free to contact us!
