The Dan River Basin Association preserves and promotes the natural and cultural   resources of the Dan River Basin through stewardship, recreation and education.

Vision
The Dan River Basin Association envisions an economically vibrant bi-state community with a regional identity, where people enjoy easy access to healthy rivers, parks, trails and heritage attractions.

Goals
The Dan River Basin Association works to: preserve the river corridor with a series of municipal, county, and state parks and trails; increase public access to rivers; build constituency for the rivers and outdoor recreation through monthly outings; protect water quality by instituting stream monitoring across the Basin; promote regional eco-heritage tourism; and bridge boundaries to create a bi-state borderland community.

• Stewardship

• Regional Identity
