Transformation of the South River

Although it had a rocky time throughout the 20th century, the South River watershed has since gone from a misused natural resource, polluted and avoided, to a cherished resource for recreation, wildlife, and local pride. All of this is to say, with peoples’ help even the most forgotten natural area can be restored to a pristine waterway for all to enjoy. See all Videos
