Soaring Together Summer Campaign

The Eagle's Story & Our Watershed's Future

This summer, soar with DRBA during Soaring Together, our 2026 summer campaign celebrating the incredible comeback of the bald eagle.

From July 13 through August 10, you'll discover fun eagle facts, enjoy hands-on environmental activities for kids and adults, explore ways to support local conservation, shop exclusive DRBA merchandise featuring our 2026 Critter of the Year and, of course, support DRBA's work throughout our watershed.

Why the bald eagle? Because its story is our story. Once nearly gone from our region, bald eagles have returned because people worked together to restore rivers, improve water quality and protect the habitats wildlife depends on. Their remarkable recovery proves that conservation works. By supporting our Soaring Together Summer Campaign you're helping ensure that bald eagles (and countless other species) continue to prosper in the Dan River Basin for generations to come.

We'll be updating this page throughout the campaign, so check back often to discover something new, get inspired and maybe even find your next outdoor adventure!
