New to Georgia ForestWatch?

Georgia ForestWatch exists to preserve, protect and restore the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests. We are the collective voice of hundreds of people just like you, who want to make sure our children’s grandchildren have healthy natural forests to enjoy. Because all citizens own the national forests we have a say in how they are managed, but the pathways to getting heard are complex and difficult to navigate. Georgia ForestWatch has over 23 years experience in navigating the public comment process and bureaucracy of the US Forest Service.

Many people think our national forests are fully protected, like national parks, but over 80% is still open to logging. As a ForestWatch member you’ll learn how to make a difference, and we’ll have fun in the process – taking time to get out and enjoy the woods. Please join now. It’s affordable and you will join with the many other ForestWatchers committed to protecting the people’s forests. United with one voice, we serve as a formidable advocate for protecting our beloved forests.
