Winter moved in with snow, ice and cold last night and has turned much of New River watershed into a winter wonderland. This shot of Claytor Lake by @JeremyRiffe from several years ago.

Show us your winter wonderland!

Are clean rivers your thing? Ours too! This past year we held more than 52 clean ups throughout the watershed - more than one a week! With your help we are reaching pre-Helene conditions in the New River. Join us and help us do even more in 2026!

NRC had these signs made for along Stroubles Creek for the @StroublesCreekcoalition

Very cool riparian buffer work going on there, & also a lot of trash in the creek lately. Everyone lives downstream. By caring for our little watershed, we care for everyone downstream, too.
