About SRWA
Since 1998 Working to Protect And Restore
The Soque River Watershed Association (SRWA) is a non-profit organization working to protect and restore the Soque River in Northeast Georgia. The Soque River is the only river in Georgia to begin and end all within one county, Habersham. It is a major headwater tributary to the Chattahoochee River which serves as the primary drinking water supply for the city of Atlanta, and many cities further south.
The organization, founded in 1998, is governed by a community-oriented board of directors, and one staff member, a Director of Water Management. Key SRWA activities include:
- Water Quality: Execution of a weekly volunteer water monitoring and testing program.
- Nature Areas: Oversight and management of the community Clarkesville Greenway Trail.
- Conservation: Collaboration with local officials on conservation policy and planning improvements.
- Outreach: College and school education-based outreach programs with the focus on the importance of conservation, environmental challenges, clean drinking water, outdoor recreational activities, clean-up projects, volunteerism, etc.
- Project Work: River and bank work projects that deliver needed improvements and repairs to the Soque watershed.
- Grant Writing/Fundraising: An active group of volunteers that work to secure needed funding through the Federal 319 grant program and scheduled community fundraiser events.
- Outdoor Activities: The development of nature-oriented activities including hikes, trail excursions, bike rides, kayaking, etc. that provide members, volunteers, and community an opportunity to see the wonders of Habersham County!
