John Quarterman on the Withlachoochee

Monday, July 9th, 2012




John S. Quarterman

was born and raised
in Lowndes County, where he married his wife
Gretchen. They

live on the same land where he grew up
, and

participate in local community and government.



NPS talks with Quarterman and his observations on starting and
strengthening a Withlachoochee Riverkeeper organization at

Georgia River Network
‘s

2012 Weekend for Rivers.

The water organization has since been incorporated as the Georgia non-profit

WWALS Watershed Coalition
:



WWALS is an advocacy organization working for watershed conservation
of the Willacoochee, Withlacoochee, Alapaha, and Little River
Systems watershed in south Georgia and north Florida through
awareness, environmental monitoring, and citizen advocacy.

another podcast

which starts out on what may sound like a completely different topic,
but which is actually quite related.
