Join the AEC and Black Warrior Riverkeeper for our next litter pickup! Please register on our website at
https://aeconline.org/event/09-06-2025/.
Unique to Birmingham, the federally endangered Watercress Darter fish displays spectacular colors during mating season and lives in five local streams, including Roebuck Springs at Roebuck Golf Course. Storm runoff can be a major issue leading to litter in our waterways, so help us clean up to protect the darter before our Darter Scramble golf fundraiser 9/18!
We’ll be meeting at 8:30 a.m. for a brief safety talk and to get everyone the supplies they need. If you have your own gloves, feel free to bring them. We suggest bringing a small backpack to carry any needed personal supplies while you’re walking.
Pickup will begin by 9:00 a.m. and finish around 11:00 a.m.
Meeting location: Roebuck Golf Course, 8920 Roebuck Blvd., Birmingham, AL 35206
