Celebrate Earth Week
This Earth Day, DRBA invites you to spend an entire week turning inspiration into action along the waterways, trails and communities of the Dan River region.
On April 20, we’re kicking off the Dan River Conservation Series, a weeklong celebration of Earth Day, filled with events designed to help you get outside, get your hands dirty and gain a deeper understanding of the Dan River watershed and the vital role it plays in our shared ecosystem.
Join us in celebrating Earth Day all week long by learning more, doing more and protecting the places we love. Together, we can turn awareness into action… And action into lasting impact for generations to come.
