HOW CAN I HELP?

To help understand our community's responsibility to our local water environments,
consider our Reedy River like a historic home. The previous "owners" were
the mills during the height of Greenville's textiles period. They were notorious
for polluting the river, like not taking care of a home can damage it over
time.
In the time since the Mills era, the Greenville community and local organizations
have taken huge steps in the "remodel" of the Reedy River. But even after
an extensive home remodel, owners often continue to update or improve the
home in smaller and more specific ways, which is why organizations, like
Renewable Water Resources, challenge themselves to continually improve their
impact on the river.
Each individual can be a part of our "remodeling" process - check out the
following categories to learn how you can help. Think of your contribution
as a fresh coat of paint or a new light fixture. ReWa thanks you for joining
our team!
