It's our duty to protect and preserve the river.
We Are the Voice of the River !
Protecting the Reedy River. Restoring its health. Inspiring our community to act.
Founded in 1993, Friends of the Reedy River began when the Reedy was an overlooked and polluted river, before today’s beautiful Liberty Bridge and Falls Park were built in Greenville. Today, we continue to work to protect and restore the river and its watershed as a vital part of a healthy, vibrant watershed.
We educate. We advocate. We activate. Through education, water-quality monitoring, restoration, cleanups, and community advocacy, we bring people together to protect the Reedy and create lasting solutions.
Join us—give, volunteer, or partner with us to help keep the Reedy River healthy and thriving for generations to come.

The Woodland Way Corridor
In 2015, FoRR adopted a 1-mile stretch of the Reedy River, calling it the Woodland Way Corridor. We envision the corridor becoming a key destination along the SRT that also serves as a city- and countywide model for river/water stewardship and sustainable watershed management practices. It will be a model for naturalized stream corridors within an urban setting.
