The High Rock Lake Coalition

The High Rock Lake Coalition was formed to coordinate the efforts of local non governmental organizations in the relicensing of FERC Project 2197. As a unified group we hope to maximize the representation of the collective membership of all of the groups and effect positive changes in the way the Project is managed.

High Rock Lake Coalition Mission Statement:

The mission of the coalition is to combine the resources and strengths of all interested parties to provide for the preservation of the Yadkin River basin and High Rock Lake to protect the natural environment for the fish, wildlife and recreational use.
