Seeing essential beauty…

Rachel Carson once said “In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential needs for survival, water along with other resources has become the victim of his indifference.”

Help open the eyes of more men, women and children by giving a gift that supports Georgia River Network’s mission of engaging even more people in protecting and enjoying Georgia’s rivers.

Thank you!
