MISSION STATEMENT

Save Greers Ferry Lake, Inc. is a non-profit organization working to safeguard and maintain Greers Ferry Lake's clean water and natural environment through public education and legal action, as needed.

Important Update-

Read the Urgent Request from the Directors of SGFL on the Newsletters Page.


In 2002 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed a Shoreline Management Plan that threatened the lake's natural shoreline by allowing a large number of new private boat docks.  A group of concerned citizens banned together and formed Save Greers Ferry Lake, Inc.  SGFL joined with the Nature Alliance and successfully sued the Corps to force a reexamination of the Plan and reduce the number of new docks that would be allowed.

In 2004 the Arkansas Wildlife Federation awarded its prestigious "Water Conservationist of the Year" award to SGFL, Inc.  The award, which honors groups and individuals who have made significant contributions to promoting the conservation of Arkansas' natural resources, was given for SGFL's efforts to protect the lake. 

SGFL volunteers continue to monitor activites that might adversely impact the Greers Ferry Lake.  We welcome input from the public, including any concerns about the future welfare of this increasingly important source of flood control, power, clean drinking water and recreation.
