Be a part of protecting the watershed
The Chattooga River watershed encompasses 180,000 acres in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. With ample national forest land, tons of recreational opportunities, and a growing number of visitors and residents each year, the need to take proactive measures to protect our native ecosystems is increasingly important. Get involved in one of our upcoming events, or sign up to receive email alerts about future opportunities!
