2026-02-07 09:00 - 12:00
Birds Georgia is working with Trust for Public Land to remove invasive species and restore native bird habitat along the Chattahoochee RiverLands, and we invite you to join us! Work will be supervised by Birds Georgia, and we need your help.
RiverLands Gateway Park, once open in 2026, will be a regional trailhead and will provide key access for people to experience the RiverLands Greenway and Mableton Parkway greenway trails, and also will provide desperately needed access to the Chattahoochee River via a kayak launch and boat ramp.
What to bring?

Water
Dress according to the weather and the work being done; chance of encountering poison ivy, insects, arachnids, etc.
Close-toed shoes – boots recommended
Recommended but not required: sunglasses and binoculars

Will I get dirty and potentially wet? YES!
Whether land based or paddling, all our cleanups involve getting in or around the river or a tributary – this is where the trash is. But there are opportunities to stay dry. Either way, we promise you’ll have fun!
