The Buffalo River Watershed Alliance was created in the winter of 2013 in order to halt completion of C & H Hog Farm, located adjacent to Big Creek, a major tributary of the Buffalo National River.  Unfortunately, this 6,500 animal factory farm was approved without public notice or public comment.

The good news is that, thanks to seven years of dogged efforts of those who care deeply for the Buffalo and a $6.2 million buyout brokered by Governor Asa Hutchinson, C&H permanently ceased operations in January, 2020.

In June, 2025, 12 years after BRWA’s mission began, the legislature finally approved a moratorium against any large swine CAFOs in the watershed. However, our work is not over and BRWA continues to strive for permanent protection of the Buffalo.

Your contribution will assist in our continued efforts to preserve the scenic beauty and pristine water and air quality of the Buffalo National River for future generations through public outreach and education, advocacy, and direct actions.
