Preserve, Restore and Protect Georgia's forestlands
For 30 years Georgia ForestWatch staff and volunteer District Leaders have kept watch over the 867,000 acres of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests. Over that time we have learned to use the laws that regulate USDA Forest Service management of national forests. We now find ourselves as the only organization in Georgia uniquely equipped to navigate this complex bureaucracy in support of our forests.
Our mission is to promote sustainable management that leads to naturally diverse and healthy forests and watersheds within the more than 867,000 acres of national forest lands in Georgia; to engage and educate the public to join in this effort; and to promote preservation of this legacy for future generations.
