Event details

This workday will be split into 2 sessions: 9 AM-12 PM and 1 PM-3 PM

Birds Georgia will supply all of the necessary equipment, including gloves, hand tools, and a water cooler. Feel free to bring your own tools.

What to bring?

  • Reusable water bottle
  • Wear long pants, long sleeves, and sturdy shoes
  • Close-toed shoes – boots recommended

Chattahoochee RiverLands Pedestrian Trail Bridge

The City of Smyrna and Trust for Public Land are exploring a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge across the Chattahoochee River. This bridge could improve connections between existing and planned trail systems in Smyrna and Atlanta while creating new opportunities for recreation, mobility, and access to the river. Share your input on project priorities, potential uses, and how this connection could serve the community.
