About SRWA

The Soque River Watershed Assocation (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. The organization, founded in 1998, is governed by a community-oriented board of directors, and has two staff members. Primary activities of the Association include: organization of a community watershed partnership; grant management of a Federal 319 project to complete a watershed assessment and draft a watershed protection plan; coordination of a community greenway project; and collaboration with local officials on conservation policy and planning improvements.

We Protect

The SRWA is the sole “protector” of all natural habitat surrounding the Soque River Watershed System. We hold all developers, county and local government agencies, land and homeowners, businesses, and others accountable for maintaining environmental and conservations standards that protect all aspects of the Soque River. But sometimes we need your added help! If you happen to see or smell something coming from or near the Soque River, the local creeks, or watershed area, please contact us immediately at our office phone (706-754-9382) or email us at srwa@soque.org. The river depends on all of us to keep her safe and clean!
