Chattooga Watershed Green Infrastructure Plan - NC/SC/GA


   

With its partners, the Fund developed the Chattooga Watershed Conservation Plan as a common sense approach to preserving, restoring, and maintaining the native forest ecosystem in the 179,000-acre watershed, an area encompassing portions of three states and three National Forests.

The plan used geographic information systems technology to integrate information on stream corridors, forest types and sub-watershed basins to deliver an ecologically sound conservation plan.
