The French Broad River Partnership was formed in the fall of 2018 to maintain and improve stream health within the French Broad River Watershed for environmental and economic benefits.
Vision:
That broad‐based interests work collaboratively to ensure the French Broad River Watershed serves as a source of drinking water and recreation while supporting biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, forestry, and economic growth.
Guiding Principles:
Sustainable economic development and the pursuit of improved water quality are mutually beneficial goals. The partnership works collaboratively, engaging the skills and resources of diverse stakeholders to achieve a greater positive impact. It operates with integrity and transparency to define challenges to watershed health and resolve them through innovation and stakeholder commitment, resulting in a lasting impact on the river. It engages communities because knowledge empowers all to consider the health of the river in daily and long‐term decisions.
