A Call to Action



 
 

Mission Statement

The Catawba River Foundation is 
dedicated to promoting our environmental obligation to preserve, protect and restore 
the fragile ecosystem of our Catawba rivers, 
lakes and creeks. 
Through education, enforcement and 
coordinated efforts, we are committed to 
halt present abuse, to restore past 
beauty, and to assure a watchful balance of community and environmental need 
for generations to come.
