Martinsville-Henry County
Rivers and Trails Group
 
Partners
In addition to its membership within the Dan River Basin Association, other groups have also provided assistance over the last year as the Martinsville-Henry County Rivers and Trails Group has grown from a temporary committee to a permanent community organization.
 
Activate Martinsville/Henry County
Activate Martinsville/Henry County helps make the community a fun, healthy, and desirable place to live by promoting walking, bicycling and increased physical activity as a part of everyday life. Activate partners with the Dan River Basin Association to promote the use of area trails as a part of a healthy lifestyle.
 
County of Henry, Virginia
Henry County has assisted the Martinsville- Henry County Rivers and Trails Group significantly by providing office space and technical support for staff as well as assisting with the purchase of the Danville and Western Rail Line and other local properties for trail and river access development.
 
Southern Environmental Law Center
The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) works in six states to use the power of the law to conserve clean water, healthy air, wild lands, and livable communities throughout the Southeast. Part of the organization’s mission and goals is to empower local communities to make proactive steps towards protecting the environment. In our case, they sent Kay Slaughter, a senior attorney and former mayor, to help organize the committee that would later become the Martinsville- Henry County Rivers and Trails Group.
