Episode 6: Sally Bethea, Founding Chattahooche Riverkeeper and Author
Jim and Janet are joined by Sally Bethea, the retired founding director of Chattahoochee Riverkeeper. She served as executive director and riverkeeper for two decades and continues to assist Chattahoochee Riverkeeper as a senior advisor. Sally is one of the first women in America to become a “riverkeeper”—a vocal defender of a specific waterway who holds polluters accountable. In her new book Keeping the Chattahoochee, she tells stories that range from joyous and funny to frustrating—even alarming—to illustrate what it takes to save an endangered river. Her tales are triggered by the regular walks she takes through a forest to the Chattahoochee over the course of a year, finding solace and kinship in nature. Bethea also publishes a monthly column, Above the Waterline, in Atlanta Intown. She lives and writes in midtown Atlanta.
