Maxine Rock Day of Service – Waterway Cleanup
March 2 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Date: March 2
Time: 10am – 12pm
Description: This waterway cleanup event provides an opportunity to get involved with your community and be an environmental steward.
Purpose: Community involvement & environmental stewardship. In 2023, more than 50 volunteers collected hundreds of pound of trash, making a difference in the natural habitat around this environmentally sensitive detention pond, filled with native wildlife.
Role: We will be removing debris from the pond along PATH400, as well as clearing the surrounding area. No previous experience is necessary and it should be a fun and rewarding morning, making a tangible difference.
Vibe: Have fun and learn about the native environment
Location: Peachtree Park Neighborhood Entrance to PATH400 (3399 Peachtree Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30305)
Additional Information: No previous experience is necessary, just a willingness to pitch in, get a little dirty, and have some fun making a tangible difference in the area.
Parking: Free parking is available along the neighborhood streets next to PATH400 (address above). Please do not block any driveways. The Lenox MARTA station is a quick walk to the volunteer location as well.
What to Bring With You:
- Appropriate Clothing: Please ensure you are wearing clothing that can get dirty and closed toed shoes. We will be providing our volunteers with waders, for those who would like to clean inside the pond.
- Water Bottle: We ask our participants to please supply their own water.
-
(Optional) Kayak: if you are an adept kayaker with your own equipment and would like to get out on the water to clean up trash in the interior of the pond, please let us know and we can make arrangements.
