Help Save the French Broad!


As far back as the Cherokee Indians, the French Broad Watershed has attracted people with its stunning natural beauty and clean water. For the first time in over three decades, the river is declining and threatened as never before.

Because of this critical moment in the history of the French Broad River, RiverLink and Sweetwater Beer are working to Save the French Broad.

There are only a few for weeks left to pick up a fish, t-shirt or mug. For the month of August numerous participating restaurants, bars, and retail stores are partnering with RiverLink and Sweetwater Brewery to help raise money to further RiverLink’s mission, to make the French Broad River a place to live work and play. Each business is selling paper fish with the slogan “I gave my liver to save the river,” and t-shirts with the businesses logo on the front and the “Save the French Broad” logo on the back.

Pick up a fish or shirt at one of these participating businesses: RiverLink, Eblen Short Stop (8 locations), Mellow Mushroom, Wildwings, Rocket Club, Square Root, Scully’s, Hannah Flanagins (Hendersonville), Westville Pub, Lobster Trap, Bier Garden, Tourist Stadium, Orange Peel, Greenlife, 12 Bones, and Biltmore Farms.

And don’t miss Save the French Broad at Tee Leaf Green at the Orange Peel on September 19th!
