Who we are
The Mission of the Soque River Watershed Association is to protect and restore the Soque River, its tributaries and watershed.
Our projects and initiatives prevent over 5,500 tons of sediment from entering the Soque each year and have resulted in the entire Soque Watershed being removed from the Georgia EPD's list of impaired waters for fecal coliform. Our work focuses on providing resources and funding to directly improve water quality in the Soque and its tributaries.

Please join us to for our annual tree sale! This year we will ALSO be selling live stakes for $1 each. Live stakes are wonderful for re-vegetating streambanks. Cheaper and easier to install than container plants, they have many advantages, one of which is that you can collect your own! But, if you don't have the time or resources, purchasing them is still a great and inexpensive option.

About Us
The Soque River Watershed Assocation (SRWA) is a non-profit organization working to protect and restore the Soque River in Northeast Georgia. Founded in 1998, SRWA projects have prevent over 5,600 TONS of Sediment PER YEAR from reaching the Soque and touched un-counted students and community members. Our efforts have also created new parks for the people of Habersham to enjoy, and inspired greater conservation efforts among our local governments and industries.
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 Upper Soque is a trout fisherman's paradise, while the lower stretches have equal beauty and are home to native Shoal Bass and many other animals and plants.
We rely on our community to support and direct us through our board of directors and many dues paying members. SRWA would not have lasted a fraction of this time without your support. Thank you!
