The creeks and rivers of northwest Georgia are some of the most biologically rich in North America. They're also under pressure. Runoff from farms, failing septic systems, and eroding stream banks carry bacteria and sediment into the water, making it unsafe for people and hard on the fish and wildlife that depend on it.

Limestone Valley works to fix that, watershed by watershed. Through EPA grants, we develop cleanup plans for specific waterways and get to work on the ground:

• cost-sharing with farmers on conservation improvements

• helping homeowners repair failing septic systems

• stabilizing eroding banks

• monitoring water quality to track progress

There's a community side too: canoe cleanups, Adopt-A-Stream workshops, and planting days that connect people to the water in their backyard. If you're a landowner in this watershed, get in touch to find out what programs apply to your property.
