Cape Fear River Watch - Protecting Our Drinking Water Supply
Community Conversation: Morgan Hooks, Outreach and Engagement Manager, Cape Fear River Watch
Cape Fear River Watch is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was founded in 1993. Founders Bouty Baldridge and Bruce Watkins envisioned a permanent nonprofit organization, open to everyone, and dedicated to the improvement and preservation of the health, beauty, cleanliness, and heritage of the Cape Fear River basin.
According to the University of North Carolina, 1.5 million residents depend on the river for their drinking water supply. The Cape Fear River encompasses 9,164 square miles making it the largest river basin contained entirely within North Carolina.
The mission of the River Watch is to protect and improve the water quality of the Cape Fear River Basin for all people through education, advocacy and action. Working with partners, they have a history of proven success in protecting the watershed.
We were pleased to have a conversation with Morgan Hooks about the important work they do.
