Be a part of protecting the watershed
The Chattooga River watershed encompasses 180,000 acres in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. With ample national forest land, tons of recreational opportunities, and a growing number of visitors and residents each year, the need to take proactive measures to protect our native ecosystems is increasingly important.

This event is a great opportunity to connect with the community, support our mission, and make a real impact. We will be working alongside the Headwaters Master Gardeners to pick up trash, remove invasive species (privet, ivy, multiflora rose), and plant some new trees and shrubs! Whether you’ve volunteered before or this would be your first time, we welcome you to be part of it.
Other Details:
- Bring gloves, and tools if you have them! Shovels, rakes, and clippers are ideal.
- We will have a water cooler, but bring a personal water bottle to refill!
- Park in the “Georgia Mountain Market” parking lot and meet in the picnic area.
- No “sign up” needed, just show up! (& you are under no obligation to stay the whole time)
Email jasmine@chattoogariver.org with any questions.
