About This Blog

Hello and welcome to the Chattahoochee River NRA Science and Resource Management (SRM) Blog. Facts, trivia, photos and random bits of natural resource-focused information will be posted as it occurs, transpires, arises, befalls, ensues, or becomes a plain ol' nuisance. Postings will include the fabulous, the interesting, the unusual and the ugly. For instance we will post photos of spring ephemerals as they come into bloom in the park. Or an interesting animal caught on camera. Or, we may post current E. coli levels, sewage spills, and stream bank erosion. Stay updated on the news and natural phenomenon of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.

Great day for Georgia Aster

May 30, 2014 Posted by: Allyson Read

The park has partnered in a Candidate Conservation Agreement (CCA) for the Georgia aster (Symphyotrichum georgianum).  The signing of the CCA creates a partnership of agencies, organizations, and other entities that voluntarily agree to specific conservation measures to ensure species recovery and to avoid listing on the endangered species list.
