When you volunteer, you’re more than just lending a hand—you’re creating a ripple effect of positive change. Your time and effort directly benefit the community and environment by:
- Protecting Natural Habitats: Removing debris keeps our waterways clean, supporting native wildlife and ecosystems.
- Building Community Pride: Working together strengthens bonds with neighbors and fosters a sense of collective responsibility.
- Promoting Sustainability: Small actions, like clearing litter, add up to a healthier planet for future generations.
In 2024, volunteers collected over 50 pounds of trash from this sensitive detention pond area. Your participation ensures continued progress toward a greener, cleaner Buckhead. We’ll be removing trash from the pond and clearing the surrounding area to create a healthier environment. No prior experience is necessary—just come ready to make a difference!
What to Bring:
- Clothing: Wear clothes that can get dirty and closed-toed shoes. Waders will be provided for those entering the pond.
- Water Bottle: Stay hydrated with your reusable water bottle.
- Optional Kayak: If you’re an experienced kayaker, bring your equipment to help clean trash from the pond’s interior. Let us know in advance to coordinate!
Free parking is available along neighborhood streets near PATH400. Please avoid blocking driveways. The Lenox MARTA station is a short walk from the event site for those using public transit.
