The First 25 Years (archives)


Since 1997, the Friends of the Pedlar River have been creating opportunities for people of all ages to explore the wonderful complexity of the natural world. See what we've done by visiting our archives.

The Pedlar River Institute is a 501(c)3 organization that educates and inspires people to become better stewards of our natural communities for the sake of all beings and our shared future together.
