Earth Week 2025

Cahaba River Society will host daily volunteer opportunities April 21-26, 2025, in honor of Earth Week. This week-long event will promote a clean and healthy Cahaba River and engage a wider audience with the Cahaba River Society, the global anti-litter and recycling campaign, our partners, and sponsors. 

We will lead volunteers along the channel, banks, and riparian forests of the Cahaba River and its tributaries to:

• Remove litter and invasive species
• Encourage native wildlife and vegetation
• Mitigate erosion impacts along recreational trails
• Advocate for a clean river and a healthy lifestyle

Each day, teams will patrol various river segments on foot or by canoe. Participants will learn about the Cahaba River, its unique standing as one of the most biodiverse rivers of its size in the country, and the challenges facing waterways throughout Alabama. They will also become familiar with organizations addressing these challenges and the sponsors that help these vital organizations accomplish their goals.

Contact Zachary Fitzgibbon to register for a cleanup.

Earth Week 2025 is a prime opportunity for partners and sponsors to join the worldwide push for clean waterways. Contact Wil Rainer to learn more about sponsoring Earth Week 2025.
