Earth Week Clean-Up Series: Jefferson County – April 21

April 21, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Earth Week Clean-Up Series: Jefferson County – April 21

 

Description:

Come join Cahaba River Society and our partners for a 3.5 mile walking cleanup of Shades Creek!

Volunteers will meet at the Homewood Soccer Park for check-in and directions to your cleanup station. From there, groups will caravan to their designated location and hit the creek or the trail! We will clean until about noon when we’ll meet back at our designated meeting locations to sort and weigh all litter collected.

CRS will provide grabbers, bags, and gloves. There is no charge for this trip. Folks are absolutely welcome and encouraged to head to the CRS website for donations to offset program costs to CRS. Volunteers will have the opportunity to get into the creek, so bring your water shoes!

Don’t forget to join us on Saturday, April 26th at Cahaba Brewing for a celebration and awards ceremony!

 

What to Bring:

  • Water (at least 1 liter)
  • Lunch
  • Sunscreen
  • Sun hat
  • Close-toed shoes (required)
  • You are welcome to bring a cooler for your water and lunch, but alcohol is prohibited.

About Earth Week:

The Cahaba River Society invites volunteers to join our Earth Week Clean-Up from April 21-25, 2025. Each day, teams will remove litter and invasive species along the Cahaba River’s channel, banks, and tributaries to support native wildlife, reduce erosion, and promote a clean river and healthy lifestyle. The Cahaba flows through five counties, and clean-up efforts will focus on a different county each day.

This week-long event highlights the Cahaba’s biodiversity and challenges, connects participants with the mission of CRS and partners, and aligns with global efforts for clean waterways. Volunteers will patrol various river segments on foot or by canoe, learning about the Cahaba and the organizations working to protect it.

Last year’s event was a resounding success, with 162 volunteers removing over 6,000 pounds from the Cahaba and its tributaries.

 

Thank you to Amerex for sponsoring this cleanup!
