Who We Are
Mission
To maintain and improve stream health within the French Broad River Watershed for environmental and economic benefits.
The French Broad River Partnership was formed by voice vote by those in attendance at the formation meeting at Highlands Brewing in the fall of 2018.
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

- We operate 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.
- We engage communities because knowledge empowers all to consider the health of the river in daily and long‐term decisions.
