Proceed to access point on Highway 77 to clean up.

Everyone should provide their own transportation and bring their own gloves, as well as anything else you may need (tools, food, drinks, bug spray, etc.) Long pants and sturdy foot wear are recommended.

Waterbody: Beaver Ruin Creek
Addition Info: Volunteers will have easy foot access to this stream and storm-water runoff area that desperately needs our TLC! Set back off the road near of the City of Norcross' gateway entrances, this area is where 2 streams converge to form Beaver Ruin Creek - the more trash we can pick up here, the less that will end up in the Altamaha River, and eventually along the Georgia coast! Great way for corporate groups to bond, teens to earn community service hours, Scout badges - or just to enjoy a morning doing something meaningful!
