FOLAR (Friends of the Lowers Appomattox River) is a nonprofit organization representing community leaders and citizens interested in promoting and enhancing the Appomattox River.  We work to protect the river and promote its natural beatuy and history.

For several years we have been developing a regional Greenway-Blueway network of trails and water along the lower Appomattox River, from the Lake Chesdin dam to Hopewell, where the Appomattox joins the James River.
