Free for any facility in the Elizabeth River watershed, the River Stars program is most successful where it can make the most difference–with facilities that have large opportunities to reduce toxic pollution and/or restore and conserve urban wildlife habitat.

River Stars can be churches, major shipyards or Fortune 500s. Together they are restoring vital wetlands for our fish, urban forests to filter pollution on the shore and oyster reefs to bring back the native oyster. They’re inventing new ways to reduce or prevent pollution and treat stormwater runoff. In return, they routinely discover cost savings, reduced liability, improved worker safety and morale. Their efforts have earned international acclaim as one of the most successful programs anywhere for inspiring voluntary stewardship.

The River Stars program is so successful that it has garnered international attention. Delegations from China, Mexico, Bosnia, the Philippines, and Thailand have studied the River Stars program as a model for their own efforts to begin similar programs.
