Georgia's 21st Annual Rivers Alive event is just around the bend!

Our rivers and streams provide us with fresh drinking water, important wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. Help preserve our precious rivers and streams at this year’s Rivers Alive volunteer cleanup event!

This year our cleanup event in Athens will be on Saturday, September 24 from 8:00 AM to Noon. Volunteer check-in is at Dudley Park on the corner of MLK PKWY and E. Broad Street. Volunteer Check-in starts at 8:00 AM.

We are the solution to water pollution!

Last year, 128 volunteers came out in the pouring rain to collect over 6.19 tons (12,380 lbs) of trash, 1.1 tons (2,200 lbs) of recycling, and 117 tires during the event!
