Athens Rivers Alive

Get your hands dirty and feet wet during the annual Rivers Alive clean-up on October 24. Join hundreds of Athenians as we remove litter from our streams, creeks, and rivers as part of the continuing statewide campaign to clean and preserve over 70,000 miles of Georgia’s rivers and streams. The annual Georgia Waterway Cleanup is the largest single volunteer effort to beautify Georgia’s water resources.  Volunteers in Athens stage their cleanup at Dudley Park before dispersing around the county to clean-up various sites. Participants are encouraged to register for one of the serval sites around Athens. Registration opens September 21 at www.accgov.com/RiversAlive
