Welcome to Savannah River

Welcome to the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service - Savannah River.  Located between Aiken SC and Augusta GA, USFS-SR manages over 170,000 acres of forested area located on the Department of Energy, Savannah River Site (DOE - SRS).

U.S. Forest Service Savannah River was established in 1951 to help reforest the abandoned farmland on the newly formed Savannah River Site.  Since that time, forest service employees have continued to work within the SRS Natural Management Plan to help regenerate healthy forests, provide watershed protection and improvement, suitable habitat for animal and plant species, and to provide a source of revenue from the sale of forest products.
