Sound Rivers is a nonprofit organization that guards the health of the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico River Basins.
We unite with concerned citizens to monitor, protect and preserve the watersheds covering nearly one-quarter of North Carolina.
Founded in 2015 with the merger of two of the state’s oldest grassroots conservation organizations, Sound Rivers combines the deep history of advocacy of the Neuse River Foundation, established in 1980, and the Pamlico-Tar River Foundation, established in 1981. This union to become Sound Rivers creates a powerful advocate protecting our most cherished waterways and bolsters our impact within the State of North Carolina.
