Why should I join?
As a member of Friends of Dragon Run you will be taking an active role in preserving this pristine waterway. You will be protecting ancient bald cypress trees, threatened species of birds and plants, such as prothonotary warblers and feather foil, as well as hundreds of other species of plants and animals.  

What are the benefits?
Membership benefits include voting rights to elect directors, participation in member-only events, and participation in volunteer activities such as land stewardship, paddle crew and logistics personnel, trail maintenance, and more.  We also offer member-only events such as a series of guided nature walks on our properties throughout the year.

How will my membership fee be used?
Annual dues will be used for land purchases, management and stewardship expenses, paddle equipment purchases and repairs, and operating costs such as taxes and insurance.  The paddle trips provide additional income to help us perform our mission, but the annual dues provide a steady income to meet FODR’s basic needs.  All board, committee, paddle, and logistic crew members are volunteers and all the funds we receive are used to fulfill our goals to serve as good stewards and to share and educate others about Dragon Run.
