Short Introduction
Black Warrior Riverkeeper's mission is to protect and restore the Black Warrior River and its tributaries. We are a citizen based non-profit organization dedicated to improving water quality, habitat, recreation, and public health throughout our patrol area, the Black Warrior River watershed. This vital river basin is entirely contained within Alabama, America's leading state for freshwater biodiversity. Patrolling waterways, educating the public, and holding polluters accountable has made us an important proponent of clean water throughout the basin. Our job is to identify major pollution problems and work on cleaning them up.
Founded in 2001 by David Whiteside, our full-time staff includes Nelson Brooke - Riverkeeper & Executive Director, John Keeling - Staff Attorney, John Kinney - Program Director, and Charles Scribner - Director of Development. We also benefit greatly from the services of in-house Prosecuting Attorney, Mark Martin, and the IT support of New Merkel Consulting Group. Named Alabama’s 2006 Watershed Organization of the Year by Alabama Rivers Alliance & 2007 Conservation Organization of the Year by Alabama Environmental Council, Black Warrior Riverkeeper is a proud member of Waterkeeper Alliance.
Please contact us to report pollution (we investigate citizen tips) and to inquire about volunteer projects, donations, or events.
