Gary Jobson, America's Cup Tactician and Sailing Expert Shows Us Why the South River Needs Your Help

Our Philosophy The Federation believes in a holistic approach to cleaning up the South River. We utilize all available tools, ranging from scientific water quality monitoring, to raingarden installation, to large-scale stream restoration, to one-on-one landowner education. Our restoration efforts are locally focused and are driven and informed by sound science.
