Protect the Public’s Right to use the Jackson River

Your right to use public rivers in the Commonwealth of Virginia is under threat!
To date the defense of this case has been funded out of pocket by the anglers and others who care about Virginia’s rivers and the public’s right to freely use and enjoy them in a responsible and legal manner.

Friends of the Rivers of Virginia (FORVA), a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization, is supporting efforts to fight this attempt to privatize a public river and is serving as the fiscal steward for the VRDF. Tax exempt contributions to support FORVA’s non-profit purposes, including their support for VRDF’s litigation efforts, can be made through this link. Any proceeds raised in excess of those required to defend this case will be donated to non-profit organizations whose mission is conservation and stewardship of our state’s rivers.
