The strength of our movement lies in working and sharing together. Despite our many challenges, this is truly a time of opportunity to better protect our home waters.

This year, water protection advocates from across the nation will come together in Charleston, South Carolina, a city with a long history, sitting at the confluence of five rivers, and boasting the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Western Hemisphere.

All of which is very apt, since River Rally serves as a major bridge for a diverse community of organizations, agencies, tribes and businesses working to connect our water, lands and communities.

At River Rally, you will -

  • learn the best strategies for river restoration;
  • test and help improve the newest tools and technologies for watershed protection;
  • deliver and discuss critical information from the field and from Washington, DC; and
  • connect with the people you need to achieve your goals.

Whether you work for, volunteer with or otherwise support organizations that protect and restore our freshwater lifelines, your efforts—individually and collectively—are amazing.

Whether this will be your first or twelfth River Rally, you will find opportunities for professional growth that are second to none.
