Haw River Assembly’s Annual Gathering

What is the Annual Membership Gathering?

Every November, our members gather to do what we do best: show up for each other and for the Haw River watershed.

You'll meet the river defenders fighting and showing up alongside you. You'll hear from our staff and Haw Riverkeeper about the wins we've had and what's ahead. You'll share a meal with people who believe the river is worth protecting. You’ll dig into activities that celebrate the watershed we're fighting for.

This gathering is for our members only; because when you're part of this community, you're not just supporting our work: you're part of it. We speak for you when we push back against pollution. We represent you when we fight for clean water. We work for you every single day.

Not a member yet? When you make a donation of any amount to the Haw River Assembly, you’ll become a member for a year.

2026 Gathering: Saturday, November 7

Kathleen Clay Edwards Family Branch in Greensboro. Food, community, outdoor time together, early access to our yearly State of the Haw River publication, and much more.

Thank you to everyone who attended our 2025 Annual Membership Gathering! On November 15, 2025, we celebrated our achievements, connected with new and fellow members, and heard from our inspiring guest speaker, Brianna Howard, from North Carolina Conservation Network.
