The
Living River Trust began when sister organization,
The Elizabeth River Project, recognized a need for
more mitigation alternatives to offset impacts to the
Elizabeth River bottom.
The
Trust was established in 2004 (as the Elizabeth River Restoration
Trust) when the
Norfolk District of the Corps of Engineers and the
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, along
with the Trust’s independent board, reached agreement on
operating guidelines. The Elizabeth River Project helped
set up the Trust and is providing contracted support, as
needed, for start-up projects.
The
Living River Trust is governed by its own Board of
Trustees and has a long-term goal of establishing its
own support services.
