Come join the over 500 active volunteers to cleanup and protect the French Broad River - one of the world's oldest rivers right in our own backyard!  Volunteer Information Sessions are the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 10am & 5pm at RiverLink offices with the next one being November 11th.  To attend, please RSVP to Rachel Doebber, Volunteer Outreach Coordinator volunteer@riverlink.org or (828) 252-8474 ext. 118
