Birmingham Park’s 200 acres contain lots of cool, important things, few more so than the Little River as well as tributaries, streams, and creeks running through the park. The health of those waterways is critical to the health of the park’s ecosystem and – considering that the creeks feed the Little River, which itself eventually empties into the Etowah River – the surrounding area’s environment.
This Saturday, you can help ensure Birmingham Park’s health and vitality by keeping those waterways clean and flowing.
The City’s next “Rivers Alive” event will take place from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 14. Any volunteer eager and able to make a positive impact can go to Birmingham Park to clear debris and more, with a focus on the park's waterways. And as an extra incentive to come – and come early – the first 20 helpers can get a free “Rivers Alive” t-shirt!
So invite friends, family members, and neighbors to join you this weekend at Birmingham Park. You’ll not only be part of making Milton’s beloved natural haven all that much better, you’ll also be part of a wider, Statewide effort given that Rivers Alive is a volunteer waterway cleanup program that extends all around Georgia.
