Friends Of The Cobbossee Watershed.
 
The folks who should be receiving an award are the friends themselves for the countless hours of preparation and hands on work that they perform for our community. And results are being seen.

We believe wholeheartedly in the mission of the Friend Group and acknowledge our assistance more as a responsibility then a donation.
