Class VI has long been a leader in river safety and environmental conservation. In 1985, Class VI made the commitment to equip all raft trips with FM radios for emergency communication. Starting in 1986, the company began hosting the area's first river rescue clinics. Class VI's highly trained guide staff taught river rescue to the U.S. Park Service and the U.S. Military Special Forces. Class VI was instrumental with the successful campaign to preserve the Gauley River into a National Recreation Area and has participated in numerous river cleanups, highway adoption programs and efforts to limit impact at river access points. In 1991, Class VI became one of the smallest companies to ever win the prestigious Ernst and Young, Merrill Lynch and Inc.
