Whether you measure in trash bags filled, tires removed, kids educated, water quality or acres of greenspace preserved forever in the riparian corridors, RiverLink's impact on the watershed is enormous. RiverLink receives foundation, state and federal grants for big projects such as greenway purchases or historic land and building along with our many stream restorations but these funds do not support our daily operations.
This is a real opportunity to double your support of the organization that acquired the old speedway now transformed into Carrier park - the old EDACO junk yard - soon to be added to the greenway after a phytoremediation (clean up petroleum using plants) and continues to spearhead greenway and adaptive reuse of historic buildings along the river corridors. RiverLink is making the French Broad River watershed a destination for everyone to live, work and play.
Riverlink teaches 5,000 school children a year, is developing river access and overnight camping sites, holds conservation easements in the riparian corridor for future generations and hosts a variety of events throughout the year
The Voice of 1,000 party in honor of donors will be held again this year at the home of Barbara and Don Layden in September.
Riverlink is close to the $200,000 goal - donate today at riverlink.org or by calling 828-252-8474, ext 10 , or using snail mail at P.O. Box 15488, Asheville, NC 28813-0488.
We truly appreciate your support and need your help today to meet our goal! Thank you in advance for your support. - Karen Cragnolin, Executive Director RiverLink
