Watershed Protection - We identify sources of pollution and analyze how to stop them. We regularly patrol the rivers we work to protect. We respond to tips and complaints. We review public records - like discharge monitoring reports and inspection reports to assess whether violations have occurred. We collect evidence water quality samples, photographs, videos, victim interviews- and build the case we need to stop the pollution and enforce the law. And we organize - we listen to communities along the river and work with them to stop the problems about which they care the most. We build grassroots support for clean water through stewardship, including our on-the-water paddle series: Riverpalooza.

Shenandoah: We upgraded our monitoring equipment for toxic algal outbreaks so we dont have to rely on the state to determine when and where they occur. We filed multiple algae complaints with the Commonwealth to encourage the state to monitor for algal outbreaks. We organized a cleanup with 16 partner organizations of 62 sites on Earth Day, removing 60 tires and 200 bags of trash from the Shenandoah River System.We renewed our internship program with four universities: Shenandoah University, Howard University Law School, Trinity University, and Hood College.
