Water Watch Training: Kinston

November 5th, 2025

Be a part of Sound Rivers’ Water Watch team!

Join Sound Rivers’ Riverkeeping team for this in-person training where you’ll learn everything you need to know to be a part of Sound Rivers Water Watch.

Get trained in the field to collect scientific observations about water quality, flooding, erosion, habitat and more. With your help, your Riverkeeping team can monitor and protect more stream miles in the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico watersheds, and build a community of volunteers who know their water-quality science!

The Kinston Water Watch training will be held 5:30 – 7 p.m., Nov. 5, at the Lenoir County Cooperative Extension, 1791 NC-11, Kinston, NC 28504. The meeting room is through the main entrance; look for the door next to the flagpole.

Hope to see you there!

2025 Oyster Roast

November 15th, 2025

Get ready to shuck oysters under the stars, sample some craft beer, dance the night way, and pick up some great items from our auction at Sound Rivers’ 38th-annual FUNdraiser (emphasis on FUN) on Nov. 15!

Tickets are sold out! You can also join us for the Oyster Roast Pre-Party at Pitt Street Brewing on the Pamlico the night before, in which 15% of all sales between 5 and 8 p.m. will be donated to Sound Rivers!

We'll have chili (both beef and vegetarian), chowder, craft beer from Two Rivers in Washington, Mother Earth Brewing in Kinston and Tarboro Brewing Company in Tarboro and, of course, ALL YOU CAN EAT STEAMED OYSTERS (cocktail sauce and butter provided!).

Live music by Saxy & The Thrill starts at 7 p.m. and goes to 10 p.m., so there will be plenty of time to eat oysters, take a gander at and bid on auction items, AND get your groove on!
