Earthrise Helping to Protect Country’s First National River

5/8/13 - Earthrise is representing a coalition of environmental groups opposing a hog farm that could threaten the watershed of the Buffalo National River in northwest Arkansas.

The Buffalo National River was the first river in the United States to receive the “national” designation and is one of the few remaining rivers in the lower 48 without dams. With quiet stretches and swift running rapids, it cuts through grassy meadows and massive limestone bluffs in the Arkansas Ozarks.
