Celebrate Mother Earth

At Wildwater every day is Earth Day. I ran across a similar philosophy on a lot of blogs but, at Wildwater, this is our core belief. Since 1971 we have been more than just business people making a living from the environment. It was the main reason why Jim and Jeanette Greiner started this rafting business, and was the driving force to get the Chattooga River protected. We wanted to share the river with our Guests and friends.

We feel very strongly that rafting is a great hook to get people out into the woods and onto the river. And then, if we can share and expose our River Guests to the beauty of the mountains and how important it is to protect and preserve the quality of the experience, then maybe we'll have created more advocates to keep the water, air and soil clean.

I think it is obvious that most of our Team Members are conservationists. We have been leaders in highway and river clean ups from our very beginning. We are also the largest contributors to the Chattooga Guided Outfitters and Conservation Fund and the Nantahala River Conservation Fund. These area conservation funds focus on giving back to the specific river's regions with student scholarships, donations to local volunteer fire and rescue units, and funding of water quality studies.

So, Happy (belated) Earth Day, and come see why the Wildwater Ltd. Rafting Team is so passionate about what we do.
