Friends-the Lower Appomattox

Friends of the Lower Appomattox River (FOLAR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation, stewardship, and sustainability of the Lower Appomattox River in Petersburg, VA. They work towards creating a healthier place to live and providing opportunities for people to connect with nature through their various programs and initiatives. FOLAR also aims to develop the Appomattox River Trail Blueway-Greenway, a recreational trail system that allows people to enjoy the beauty of the river. They offer volunteer opportunities, organize events, and have an online shop where nature lovers can find unique gifts.

FOLAR recently acquired riverfront acres along the Appomattox River, securing a critical gap in the developing 25-mile Appomattox River greenway-blueway trail park system. Their efforts have connected diverse neighborhoods and areas, creating a cohesive trail network for the community to explore. FOLAR's work is supported by donations and memberships, and they actively engage with partners and volunteers to achieve their mission of preserving and promoting the Appomattox River for all to enjoy.
