In 1996, Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (UCR) established a satellite office in Gainesville, an hour north of Atlanta, to work specifically on issues affecting the Headwaters region and to conduct our Chattahoochee River Headwaters Riparian Restoration and Education Project. This office also handles general water-related issues pertaining to erosion control, land use/zoning applications, buffer encroachments, illegal discharges and monitoring within the Headwaters region.

Other major projects handled by our Headwaters Office have included the Source Water Protection Project in Habersham County, Biodiversity: Assessment of Threatened Fish Species, and the ongoing West Fork Little River Restoration Project in Hall County.
