We work across local and state boundaries, collaborating with a coalition of communities and organizations, to:

- celebrate and enhance the natural, cultural, and historical assets of the Ohio River Valley;

- facilitate a regional network to address common challenges and pursue shared opportunities; and

- identify and align resources to benefit the health and well-being of our communities.

In doing so, we are collectively creating a vibrant, healthy, and prosperous region.

Our vision is

an Ohio River valley with thriving communities that are supported in conserving and utilizing their natural beauty.

Our mission is

to help people find adventure, inspire care for the land and water, and boost the economies of vibrant Ohio River communities by building partnerships that promote safe, healthy outdoor recreation; education; & tourism.
