Buttahatchee River Restoration Progress

In 2007, the Conservancy completed a three-year planning project to determine the best course of action to protect water quality and fresh water species in the Buttahatchee River. The planning process revealed a need to address two major threats to river health channel destabilization and sedimentation. To abate these threats, the Conservancy is partnering with Tombigbee River Valley Water Management District to stabilize stream banks in the Mississippi portion of the Buttahatchee.

Funding for this three-year project came from an Environmental Protection Agency Grant and private donors, including Weyerhaeuser, Blossman Gas, M.W. Murphy Foundation, North American Coal Corporation, Tennessee Valley Authority and the Walker Foundation.

For more information on the Buttahatchee River Watershed Project, please contact Matthew Miller, Northeast Mississippi Conservation Program Director.
