Annual Beaver Watershed Alliance Friendraiser
The Annual Alliance Friendraiser – River Rally will be held on Thursday, September 25th, from 6:00 – 8:30 pm along the White River at Bunch Park in Elkins, AR! Join us for a night of celebrating source water protection through music, food, networking with conservation partners, recognizing watershed champions, a silent auction and raffle, and more!
This is more than just an event — it’s a celebration of the people, partnerships, and projects protecting Beaver Lake, the source of drinking water for over 1 in 5 Arkansans. Beaver Lake not only supplies clean drinking water, it powers industries, fuels regional growth, and contributes over $101 million in visitor spending to Northwest Arkansas each year. Managing the lands and waterways that drain into the lake — spanning portions of Benton, Carroll, Washington, and Madison counties — takes vision, collaboration, and resources. These efforts keep local lands healthy, fisheries thriving, and waterways resilient for the next generation.
The Friendraiser – River Rally is our chance to come together, recognize these achievements, and inspire more action for clean water and thriving communities. Whether you’re a landowner, partner, or simply passionate about the outdoors, you’re invited to join the celebration!
