Established in 1994, Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (UCR) is an environmental advocacy organization with more than 4,300 members dedicated solely to protecting and restoring the Chattahoochee River Basin. UCR was modeled after New York’s Hudson Riverkeeper and was the 11th licensed program in the international Waterkeeper Alliance.
UCR’s primary geographic focus begins at the River's headwaters in the north Georgia mountains above Helen and continues downstream to West Point Lake, encompassing more than 200 miles of the Chattahoochee River and 3,600 square miles of watershed.
UCR actively uses advocacy, education, research, communication, cooperation, monitoring and legal actions to protect and preserve the Chattahoochee and its watershed
