Clean water isn’t just an environmental issue, it is a public health issue.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The rivers are a main source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in our region. When pollution is in the river, it is inevitably in the drinking water. This can can lead to long term health issues and premature death.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At CRBI, we work to protect and restore our waterways to ensure they remain safe for many generations to come.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We believe that we can develop our communities, towns, cities, and farmlands mindfully in a way that grows our economies without neglecting our most vital economic resource- our water.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know that the Upper Coosa River Basin occupies three different physiographic provinces?! 1. Blue Ridge, the core of the ancient Southern Appalachians 2.Ridge and Valley, the largest province with primarily limestone geology 3. Piedmont, gently rolling hills south and east of the Blue Ridge.

It's one of the reasons we are one of the most biodiverse watersheds on the planet!

Racoon Creek near Atlanta, Ga is rich in wildlife

Racoon Creek near Atlanta, Ga is rich in wildlife and even home to some endangered species. 🐸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
CRBI teamed up with The Nature Conservancy to restore a local habitat for two fish on Raccoon Creek in Paulding County, Georgia in 2019. The fish specific to the project are the Etowah Darter, a federally endangered species and the Cherokee Darter, a federally threatened species. 💦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The project removed a culvert which was blocking the fishes’ passage to their spawning grounds and replaced it with a free standing bridge, making the habitat accessible for the fish and other aquatic species. The removal of the culvert allowed the fish to freely navigate the creek.🐠🐠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can watch a video on the project via the link in the bio! 💦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Checkin' in on the water! One of the ways we measure the health of local waterways is through macro-invertebrate testing. These tiny creatures are sensitive to changes in the water which means that finding out what macro-invertebrates are able to thrive gives us a sneak peek into the health of the water.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When you're heading out to one of our areas many beautiful recreation areas, there are some things you can do to protect the beautiful natural resources ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Pack in, pack out! Take anything you bring on the trail or to the recreation area back out with you! Bring a small garbage bag if you need to. Just make sure that all you leave behind are footprints!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Stay on the trail! We know there's a bunch of trail blazers out there. But, when you wander off trail you may be trampling vulnerable native plant species! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Take only photographs and memories! Leave the area in its natural beauty so that others can enjoy its pleasures in the future!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4) Have fun! Enjoy the wonder of our incredible natural resources with friends and family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
