Do Something Beautiful

About us

The Elizabeth River Project is a growing non-profit organization leading the effort to restore the health of our historic urban river, while affirming her value to our region’s maritime economy. Formed by four concerned citizens over a kitchen table in 1991, our organization is a collection of community members, businesses, governments, students, educators and public servants working together to Do Something Beautiful by restoring our home river. We prefer to celebrate the Elizabeth River’s revival rather than lament its past. To that end, we rely on the power of partnership – rather than lawsuits and finger-pointing – to accomplish our restoration goals. That philosophy has become an international model for collective action, and led the Stanford Social Review to cite the Elizabeth River Project as one of the country’s best examples of convincing disparate interests to work together on a community project.
