Clearing North Carolina’s Waterways—One County at a Time

From the mountains to the coast, Common Saints is on the ground where it matters most—removing debris and restoring natural water flow across the state on North Carolina.

OUR MISSION

We are dedicated to safeguarding our communities from the devastating impact of debris-filled waterways caused by storms. Our work is crucial in preventing flooding and erosion, which pose a significant threat to our agricultural lands and infrastructure.

About 
us

Locally Led. Statewide Impact.

Common Saints is a North Carolina-based nonprofit with a statewide mission: clearing obstructed waterways to prevent flooding and preserve land.

We operate with local crews, trusted equipment, and deep knowledge of the terrain—from mountain streams to coastal estuaries.
