The Tallapoosa Watershed Project is a 3 year program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The goal of the project is to research how and why the Tallapoosa River is changing, as well as, how these changes affect the environment and population in the surrounding area.
| I was lucky enough to catch the end of a TWP meeting being held at Camp ASCCA. The five person team was very enthusiastic about the project and Dr. Bill Deutsch, Auburn University Fisheries Dept. and TWP Director, was kind enough to allow an interview. The meeting was also attended by: Tammy Jones, Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership; John Glasier, Lake Watch of Lake Martin; Eric Reutebuch, Auburn University Fisheries and TWP Coordinator; and Tommy Futral, Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership Chairman and County Extension Coordinator. |  |
For more information on the Tallapoosa Watershed Project you can check out the 2005 State of Watershed Conference and the 2006 State of the Watershed Conference, both were held at Camp ASCCA.
