Riverlink is a nonprofit land trust and environmental organization dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and resilience of the French Broad River and its 2,830-square-mile watershed. The private company is based in Asheville, NC. The organization focuses on protecting water quality, riparian and floodplain habitats, and urban and semi-urban lands through conservation easements, land acquisitions, and habitat restoration projects. Riverlink undertakes large-scale initiatives such as the Woodfin Greenway & Blueway development, the A-B Tech green infrastructure project, and multiple watershed restoration plans addressing local water quality and flood resilience. The organization promotes community engagement and environmental education through programs like RiverRATS, which offers STEAM-based, hands-on watershed lessons for K–12 students, and other initiatives such as Adopt-a-Stream and Adopt-a-Storm Drain. Riverlink empowers volunteers and educates students and community members to foster stewardship of the river ecosystem, emphasizing equitable public access, climate resilience, economic revitalization, and inclusive community involvement. The organization provides resources and guidance for landowners interested in conservation easements or land donations, tailoring agreements to protect natural habitats while respecting landowner needs. Riverlink maintains financial transparency, an endowment for long-term stewardship, and a strategic plan focused on expanding educational opportunities, improving ecosystem health, and enhancing community awareness.
