Your purchase supports FOLAR’s river stewardship and Conservation programs on the lower Appomattox River.

Thank you for supporting FOLAR for the 15th Annual Paddle Battle

In support of our ongoing work to conserve, protect and promote the Appomattox River for all to enjoy, FOLAR has organized the Annual Paddle Battle on the Appomattox River since 2007. 

FOLAR has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2023 Paddle Battle. The weather forecast for Saturday September 23rd is not optimal for paddling and river activities. Rain does not typically halt the event however, the forecasted high wind and storm surge is potentially dangerous for attendees, paddlers, and volunteers. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. FOLAR has had to cancel the event only one other time due to similar dangerous forecasted weather.

Paddle Battle event T-shirts and pre-orders will be available for pick up at FOLAR’s office or stop by our booth at the Festival of Grapes and Hops:
