PROTECTION ACTIVITIES
The Upper Chattahoochee RiverKeeper was formed in 1994. Their mission is to advocate and secure the protection and stewardship of the Chattahoochee River, its tributaries and watershed, in order to restore and conserve their ecological health for the people and fish and wildlife that depend on the river system. This non-profit environmental organization uses advocacy, education, research, communication, cooperation, monitoring and legal actions to protect and preserve the Chattahoochee and its watershed. The
Chattowah Open Land Trust was formed in 1994 to protect lands
throughout the Ridge and Valley,
Cumberland Plateau,
Blue Ridge, and Piedmont areas of Middle and North Georgia, Northeast
Alabama and Southeastern Tennessee. The organization began its work in the
Chattahoochee and Etowah River
watersheds, and hence the name "Chattowah" is a combination of these
two river names. The Chattowah Open Land Trust owns property “fee simple” as
well as manages conservation easements on several parcels of land in the
Chattahoochee
Basin. |
