The Alliance was organized by stakeholders living in the Buffalo River watershed but its supporters span the state and region.The Buffalo River Watershed Alliance was created to help preserve and protect the scenic beauty and pristine water quality of the Buffalo National River by opposing and preventing the construction and operation of industrial confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) within the Buffalo River watershed. 

Its goals are to educate and advocate for protection of the Buffalo River and its associated watershed by 

1)monitoring and addressing adverse environmental impacts to the Buffalo National River and its watershed

2) supporting a moratorium on any future hog CAFOs within the Buffalo River watershed. 

The Alliance has created this web site to serve as a document repository and communication tool for its supporters and the general public.

BRWA is governed by a 6-member board of directors:

Gordon Watkins, President
Marti Olesen, Vice President
Ellen Corley, Treasurer
Ginny Masullo, Secretary
John Ray, Chief Water Boy
