Join us in enjoying and protecting rivers!
I support Georgia River Network because of the need to bring conversations about water conservation to the forefront of minority outdoor participation. As a Georgia wild quail hunter, I recognize that access to clean water sources is just as necessary for the birds themselves as it is for me and my bird dogs to find them. Without clean water and sustainable resources, much of my career in wing shooting and bird dogs would be unsuccessful, or worse, nonexistent. The work from Georgia River Network reaches far beyond just paddlers and anglers, but to minority communities and hunters alike.
People who love water, the outdoors, wild spaces and fun should all be a part of Georgia River Network (GRN). Being part of GRN has brought me to experience wonderful, rare, beautiful places in our state that you can only see if you are paddling a small boat. I have been able to meet and share those special places with knowledgeable and passionate people, many who I now consider family. I learned the connection between all the water in Georgia and how each one of us can make a positive impact on the future of those special places. Has GRN changed my life? Yes, in the best way possible.
