Since 2016, the Regional Commission has been hosting local and state government representatives, businesses, university educators, student groups, advocacy groups, and the public, in conversations about the New River watershed. Quarterly meetings are open to the public and typically held in a hybrid environment so people can join remotely. The meetings provide an opportunity for those interested in the watershed to share updates on projects and programs while preparing for joint activities such as the region-wide river clean-up called, ReNew the New, which takes place each fall. ReNew the New was expanded to a regional event in 2016. 5 tons of trash and 159 tires have been removed from watersheds in the region by 589 volunteers.
