Friends believes good stewardship involves both protecting our natural and historic resources as well as making them even better for future generations. We work through our chapters all over the state to take care of what resources we have and to improve upon them where we can. From streambed preservation to litter cleanup and from general maintenance and repair to interpretive programs, our chapters work hard to make sure our parks and historic sites are well cared for and left even better than when they were entrusted to us.
Preservation & Enhancement
Our Friends group coordinates river cleanup efforts twice a year to maintain the river in its natural spender. With the park's western boundary being the Chattahoochee River, keeping it clean and looking good is our priority. Each spring, we have volunteers join the Chattahoochee River Keepers SWEEP THE HOOCH event to collect trash accumulated along our shores. This past spring, a total of 35 tons of trash was removed from the Chattahoochee River and its tributaries statewide. If you have joined us for a spring event, we hope...
