Our Mission
Our Mission is to lead community action to restore waterways and protect the local ecosystems on which we all depend.
Vision Statement
We envision a future where every child knows the beauty of their natural surroundings, every community takes part in stewardship, and every waterway thrives.
Our goal is to restore Tennessee Valley and Caribbean rivers, creeks, and streams to a healthy biodiversity and their natural function through positive actions of watershed residents.
We are committed to empowering students to become environmental stewards and take action to improve our watersheds.
