Coosa Riverkeeper was founded in 2010 by a group of environmental leaders in the Coosa Valley of Alabama in response to the river being listed as the 10th most endangered river in the United States by American Rivers. From humble beginnings in a small mini-storage warehouse office in Riverside on the banks of Logan Martin Lake, our organization has grown to five full-time staff, an excellent Board of Directors, an Advisory Council, dozens of volunteers and interns, and hundreds of members. Our office is now located in the Town of Mt Laurel, just off the north fork of Yellowleaf Creek which an important tributary to Lay Lake on the Coosa.
