Celebrate World Rivers Day!

Environmental, Sound Rivers

Posted on September 26th, 2021

Today is WORLD RIVERS DAY! Waterkeepers Carolina and Sound Rivers are celebrating North Carolina rivers (including yours!). Visit the Tar-Pamlico, the Neuse, the Yadkin, the Cape Fear, the Haw, the Black, the Waccamaw and more on the Waterkeepers Carolina website. You don’t have to be on the river to explore your rivers — just click here!

(Pictured above: That’s Pamlico-Tar Riverkeeper Jill Howell and her rivergoing pup, Miller. You’ll be seeing a lot more of these two in the near future. Stay tuned for the Pamlico Paddle, in which Jill and Miller team up with Environmental Projects Coordinator Clay Barber for another excellent paddling adventure!)
