PATH400 Water Cleanup – Maxine Rock Day of Service
February 19, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Grab your neighbor, and join Livable Buckhead for a volunteer day on PATH400! This waterway cleanup volunteer event provides an extraordinary opportunity for Livable Buckhead to promote community involvement, encourage environmental stewardship, while making an immediate and tangible impact on one of Buckhead’s newest parks.
Volunteer Tasks:
- Cleaning up the waterway adjacent to PATH400
- Graffiti Clearing
- Invasive species removal
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 park. Tools and waders will be provided for by Livable Buckhead and the Atlanta ToolBank. All volunteers are encouraged to bring their own water.
Project Details: Projects will be scheduled on Saturday, February 19th from 10 am – 12 pm and will meet at the neighborhood entrance of PATH400 (750 East Paces Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30305).
Ample street parking is available adjacent to the PATH400 entrance.
COVID-19 Protocols: This event will be hosted outside and masks will only be required for unvaccinated individuals. If you have a known exposure, please refrain from attending the event. Masks and hand sanitizer will be provided.
