Please join SRWA for a tour of Pardue Mill with owner Bud Welborn this Saturday, June 23 at 9 AM. The tour and informational session will last approximately one hour.

To carpool, please meet in the parking lot behind the SRWA office (intersection of W. Water Street and Madison Street in Clarkesville across from the Splashe pottery studio) at 8:30 AM.

SRWA is 20!
SRWA was founded in 1998 thanks to a group of dedicated local citizens who were concerned about water quality. We have been fortunate to have had support from and collaboration with many organizations and individuals through the years, but special thanks go to Sally Bethea and Katherine Baer with Chattahoochee Riverkeeper for helping us get started and to the Turner Foundation for their generosity to help keep us going. In honor of our 20th Anniversary, we have several special events and activities planned and have designed the 20th Anniversary logo above (thank you Jason Fowler!) that you will soon see on new SRWA merchandise. On the subject of merchandise... please visit our watershed store by clicking here.
During 2018, we will celebrate our history and look forward to our future as we continue our work to protect and restore the Soque River, its tributaries, and watershed. Please see the historic photographs below (thanks to Dr. Dudley Sisk for the images). Click on the photo to see the caption, and please stay tuned to our website and upcoming Soque Bulletins for more information on how you can engage with and support SRWA to ensure a clean water legacy for 20 more years and beyond!
