Each year the City of Griffin Stormwater Department holds at least one Rivers Alive Stream Cleanup that covers over eight streams and Heads Creek Reservoir.  Volunteers pull out upwards of two tons of trash.  The removal of this trash creates a cleaner and safer environment for wildlife and improves water quality for all.  If you are interested in helping with scheduled stream cleanups, or hosting your own, contact Alexa Robinson at City of Griffin Stormwater at arobinson@cityofgriffin.com or 470-771-3358.

Events like this would not be successful without a key ingredient, which is our wonderful volunteers and participants.
