2023 Roswell Rivers Alive Annual Cleanup – September 16, 2023

Rivers Alive is an annual tradition in Roswell and sparks renewed pride in our unique riverside city.

The event, co-hosted by Keep Roswell Beautiful and the City of Roswell, is part of a statewide campaign to clean and preserve Georgia’s 70,100 miles of rivers and streams.

It is a fun and rewarding way to spend a morning!

Project sites may include Riverside Park, Waller Park, Dotsie Garner Mills Park, Don White Memorial Park, Seven Branches, and sections of Big Creek, Foe Killer Creek, and Hog Waller Creek. Coffee and beverages will be provided, and the first 150 participants can get a free Rivers Alive T-shirt! (Ages 5 and up, please. While sizing and supplies last)

Two Tons of Success!

2022 Roswell River’s Alive Cleanup was twice the fun as 2021! While 2021 was a huge year with over a ton of trash removed volunteers DOUBLED their efforts in 2022 and removed TWO TONS of trash from our parks and waterways! Litter pickup, storm drain marking, and non-native, invasive plant removal projects happened all over the City. Project sites included Riverside Park, Waller Park, Dotsie Garner Mills Park, Don White Memorial Park, Seven Branches, and sections of Big Creek, Foe Killer Creek, and Hog Waller Creek. More than 2 tons of trash was collected by 200 volunteers. The most litter was removed from Liberty Square Park, and the most interesting find was a small garden snake that was rescued from a piece of trash!
