Friends of the Mad River: They work with neighbors to steward the Mad River Valley’s healthy land and clean water for our community and future generations. A changing and increasingly variable climate presents a challenge, and also an opportunity to our Valley community. Friends – through its year-long 30th Anniversary Celebration in 2020 – will bring the community together to celebrate our natural assets, think globally and act locally, and dream big for a strong and resilient Mad River Valley community.
