As the EPA, National Park Service, and United States Geological Survey (USGS) face drastic cuts to staffing, we are deeply troubled by the long-term negative impacts this could have on the Chattahoochee River and its communities. Without adequate resources, we will lose critical partners and information, and polluters will have one less barrier to get away with breaking the law. We urge our members and friends to show your support for these federal agencies and the people who have dedicated their lives to clean water and public service.

Way up in the North Georgia mountains, the Chattahoochee River rises as a cool, clear spring. We had the pleasure of hiking to that spring last week with a great group of colleagues from Trust for Public Land, Birds Georgia, and West Atlanta Watershed Alliance. It was a joy to witness our river’s humble beginnings, complete with a salamander sighting or two! As CRK celebrates our 31st anniversary today, we’re reminded of the power of collective action. The Hooch has come a long way since 1994, in no small part thanks to community members and organizations like these joining forces to stand up for our lands, waterways, and the people and wildlife who depend on them. Thanks to all for a wonderful hike. Let’s keep up the great work!

One year ago, routine monitoring by CRK uncovered extremely high levels of bacteria entering the Chattahoochee River from Atlanta’s largest wastewater treatment plant. Since then, we’ve ramped up our testing at wastewater facilities throughout the entire Chattahoochee basin. With your support, we’re holding polluters accountable to ensure that communities have the right to fishable, swimmable, drinkable waters. Learn more at chattahoochee.org.

Great to have The Duracell Company with us on West Point Lake! During their day-long conference at the Oakfuskee Conservation Center, we took groups out for some fresh air and a guided tour of the lake.
