Watershed UGA
A town/gown stream restoration and protection initiative aimed at engaging the campus community in sustainability through watersheds. We want to create a social infrastructure that facilitates the use of the UGA campus as a living laboratory while promoting experiential learning, research, and public service and outreach.
A project of the River Basin Center and the Office of Sustainability in collaboration with partners across campus and the community.
