RIVERS and their care


We love the waterways of Georgia, and spend many hours in or near them. Conservation is very important. There are ways to get involved. 

Cindi with an Eye participated in the "Sweep the Hooch" event this year alongside Mr. Kip. It's run by the Riverkeepers. https://chattahoochee.org/sweep-the-hooch/ Our team collected over 40 bags of trash at the Island Ford hiking and biking area of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation area. Sweep the Hooch returns for the 16th year! This watershed-wide trash cleanup brings together hundreds of volunteers at dozens of parks, tributaries, and access points along the Chattahoochee River each year.















Eye am also donating an original painting titled "Walleye" for the annual meeting silent auction for the Upper Etowah River Alliance. All of the funds raised to purchase this painting will benefit river conservation.
