Our Soque River Watershed |
|
The Soque River Watershed
Association works
to protect and restore the Soque River, its tributaries and watershed.
The
Soque River Watershed is the
"Heart of Habersham County." It is completely contained within Habersham
County and is the central geographic feature of the area. No other county
in Georgia possess a watershed the size of the Soque from its headwaters
to Mouth.
The Soque is a distinct
resource in the nation. It's location, size, geology and demographics
contribute to the quality of drinking water for millions downstream. The
citizens of Habersham County have a unique opportunity to be a "future"
model for watershed protection.
