It is truly a chance for the little guy to make a difference. The Conasauga River Alliance protects one of the most diverse and unique aquatic ecosystems in the Northern Hemishphere. By working together with bussinesses, land owners and cities and towns the Alliance has gone far to protect this unique watershed. Your contibutions and membership in the NFC help us continue to support this and other worthwhile projects. Please help us help our fishes donate generously to the NFC. The Conasauga River and it's Watershed.  From its beginnings high in the lush Blue Ridge Mountains of the Cohutta Wilderness Area in Georgia, the Conasauga River flows about 100 miles to join the Coosawattee River. The Conasaugais an important part of of the Coosa River system and the great Mobile River drainage of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee and is the second Largest river system flowing into the northern Gulf of Mexico.
 The diversity of life in and along the Conasauga River is remarkable. Over 90 kinds of fishes,42 kinds of freshwater mussels, numerous types of snails, crayfish, insects and other aquatic animals have been reported from the Canasauga and its tributaries. Together, there are more types of aquatic animals in the Conasauga than in all of Europe.
 The Alliance with the technical and financial support of the Nature Conservancy, the NFC and many other wonderfull individuals and organizations does the hands on work of conservation. Alliance staff and volunteers breed endangered species for release, plant Riparian areas, sample water, protect shorelines, educate the public, develop land trusts and do the many countless small and important things that have made this conservation effort a success. We at the NFC are PROUD to play a role in the Alliances efforts.
