last updated: April 2023

Seven Rivers Resource Conservation and Development Council was initiated in March of 1992 by a group of local community leaders in Southeast Georgia.The Council was created out of a realization by these individuals of the dire need for communities to collaborate on finding solutions to common problems, learning from unique challenges, and exploiting opportunities. The Council received authorization by the Secretary of Agriculture, in January 1993 and is a 501 (c) (3), not for profit organization.

The original area consisted of Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Echols, Jeff Davis, and Ware counties and was bounded by seven rivers, namely: Altamaha, Alapaha, Ocmulgee, Satilla, St. Mary's, Suwannee, and Willacoochee.

Recognizing the needs of additional counties, the Council area expanded on three more occasions. In 1994, Brantley, Pierce, and Wayne counties became part of the Council area. In March 1997, Berrien, Cook, Lanier, and Lowndes Counties were included and again in January 2015, Brooks county joined the Council region. With these expansions, the Council's territory now includes three additional rivers: the New, the Withlacoochee, and the Little.

The Council continues to grow in its diligent efforts to help improve communities by striving to discover new ways of helping enhance the natural resources in Southeast Georgia.
