Friends of the Lower Appomattox River

FOLAR works in partnership with the community to conserve, protect, and promote the Appomattox River for all to enjoy. We envision a welcoming Blueway-Greenway of extraordinary beauty and cultural richness that forever connects nature, people, and vibrant communities.

We are committed to creating a welcoming place and to encourage everyone to actively connect, learn, share, and enjoy the benefits of a healthy river environment. The importance of FOLAR’s mission is enormous as is the potential strength of our communities and partners engaged in protecting and strengthening our Blueway-Greenway—as a path to wellness, conservation, and prosperity.
