Removing trash from the streams, lakes, and rivers in your community is not only a visible improvement but your efforts can keep metals, plastics and other substances from polluting and causing problems for aquatic life. People of all ages enjoy clean-ups and they are not difficult to organize. If your group is planning a clean-up, remember: safety first! Wear gloves and exercise caution in and near the water.
Clean-ups that are sponsored by the Savannah Riverkeeper are posted on our Events calendar [link to first page on Events] , and volunteers are always needed. You will be rewarded by improving our local environment and water quality, and possibly with a T-shirt, refreshment, and educational demonstration. Come join us!
The Savannah Riverkeeper works in conjunction with Adopt-A-Stream, Get the Dirt Out, Rivers Alive and others. We welcome your participation, and if you would like help finding a sponsor for a clean-up of your community's stream, lake or river contact us. |
