Haw riverkeeper program: haw riverkeeper program focuses on advocacy for clean water in the public arena. We conduct programs and presentations for the community, agences, and elected officials about threats to clean water, and promoting the conservation of natural resources. We work to find solutions to stop industries from contaminating the haw river with pfas and other unregulated chemicals, and to reduce nutrient and sediment pollution into the haw river.
