Love the New River

ACE has partnered up with The New River Conservancy in hosting this year’s event. The New River Conservancy is dedicated to protecting the waters, woodlands, and wildlife of the New River Watershed. They will be onsite at New River Gorge Festival providing education and doing raffles for some sweet giveaways. A number of organizations will also be on hand in support the New River Conservancy including Friends of New River, Department of Environmental Protection, WV Rivers Coalition and Piney Creek Watershed Association.
