We seek to inspire and facilitate action to protect our watershed.

The South River Science Team was established in 2001 to serve as a focal point for technical issues associated with mercury in the South River and downstream waterways. Our goal is to understand why mercury in South River fish has not decreased over time and identify potential solutions to improve the situation. The team is a cooperative effort between the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality; the Department of Health; the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries; and representatives from academia, citizen groups, the Environmental Protection Agency and DuPont. We provide technical direction for mercury studies, investigations, and monitoring and ensure that there is effective communication provided to people who use the river.

Get out and enjoy the fall foliage while you still can! Take a stroll on the Greenway and listen for the rippling water. Stay for a while or only a few minutes. It will be worth it!

Have you seen these giant chainsaws suspended from helicopters along area roads? Forestry workers use these super-sized saws to trim tree branches from the air--keeping our forests healthy and our roads safe. 👍

😀Fun Fact: Queen Anne’s lace grows wild throughout Augusta County now but originally traveled to the area on the backs of European settlers’ livestock and tangled with hay feed and bedding.
