Protecting the Places We Adventure

One of the value statements and goals of our River Rock team is to – “Protect the Places where we Adventure”. We support regional projects like river and trail clean ups, donate to charities supporting our State and National Parks, and fundraise on behalf of communities along our favorite trail route in Nepal.

We work to find a healthy balance between recreation and conservation - as our trails and river gain in popularity we must also educate our customers and clients on leave no trace best practices. We look forward to continuing our partnership with local conservation experts like Friends of the Rappahannock to ensure that our river and trails are preserved places that generations can enjoy.
