About Us
MISSION: The Upper Oconee Watershed is dedicated to protecting water resources and improving stream health in our watershed through community-based advocacy, monitoring, and education.
The Upper Oconee Watershed Network (UOWN)
was formed in January 2000 in response to citizen
concern about the region's rapid growth and its
impact to local streams and rivers. UOWN members
actively engage in various advocacy, education,
and stream monitoring initiatives in an effort to
raise community awareness about local water
resource issues and to facilitate a cooperative
spirit for long-term watershed protection.
Located in Athens, Georgia, UOWN is a 75-member
organization governed by a volunteer
Board of Directors. The board and membership work
to achieve organizational goals through a number
of activities, including:
- Annual River Rendezvous!
- Educational Events
- Quarterly stream monitoring
- Reporting Environmental Incidents
- Commenting on Issues affecting Water
Quality
- Adopt-A-Stream workshops
- River clean-ups
- Networking with other
non-profits
- Partnering with Athens/Clarke
- Publishing Stream Monitoring
