Get Involved: Be a Force for the Future of Columbia
The effort to restore the Columbia Dam and protect the Duck River starts with people like you. Whether you're a lifelong resident or someone who simply believes in preserving our natural and historical heritage, your voice and your actions matter. There are several powerful ways you can jump in and help us turn this vision into reality.
First, join our Facebook page to stay informed, connect with like-minded supporters, and help us spread the word. Social media is our modern-day town square, and your engagement — from sharing updates to commenting on posts — helps amplify our mission in powerful ways. Next, we invite you to download and distribute flyers (coming soon) in your neighborhood, workplace, church, or favorite coffee shop. These flyers are designed to educate and inspire, and every copy you hand out brings us one step closer to broad community awareness and support.
If you're looking to make an even greater impact, consider making a contribution. Donations go directly toward outreach efforts, research, and the long-term planning required to revive this project responsibly. A link to donate will be available once it is established and approved.
Together, we can protect our river, rebuild the Columbia Dam, and secure a brighter future for our children and our community. Let’s make history — one step at a time.
