Center for Natural Capital creates the Rapidan Institute (RI) to bring innovation and climate restoration related programming to Southern rivers conservation. Efforts begin to explore alteration or removal of the Rapidan Mill dam as a nationally significant fish passage project according to American Rivers, a nonprofit that has been at the forefront of protecting and restoring rivers for nearly 50 years. The Institute completes first constructed beaver dams (known out West as Beaver Dam Analogs) in Fauquier County, Virginia. Rapidan Institute holds packed meeting to an enthusiastic audience at Emmanuel Episcopal Church with a vision to begin restoration of the Rapidan Milling Company Office.
