Current Projects
Here at RiverLink we work on innovative and restorative projects that reclaim or improve key areas in the watershed. We believe that properly managed land and water resources support the environmental and economic vitality of the region, and inspire our community to visit and connect with these outdoor spaces. Our projects vary in scale from simple river bank restorations, to park and greenway creation, and even entire watershed management plans. Each of our endeavors is strategically chosen to create a stronger and more beautiful environment for our community to enjoy. On many of our projects we embrace the idea of community conservation where we value and incorporate public input into our project plans.
If you have any thoughts about our work, or opportunities for future projects, feel free to contact us!
