This litter-pickup event is your opportunity to cleanup the refuge in preparation for the return of migratory ducks, geese, sandhill cranes, and whooping cranes that overwinter at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. The event will start at Point Mallard Park at 8:00 AM where volunteers will gather and divide into teams before heading out to the refuge with a team leader to pickup litter. Teams will meet back at Point Mallard park to weigh trash and compete with other teams for the most trash and recyclables collected! After the litter pickup event concludes at 12:00, participants are encouraged to stick around for the North Alabama Trails and Recreation Expo that features a wide variety of outdoor recreation activities and informational booths from outdoor recreation organizations around North Alabama! The Cleanup for the Cranes is an official Tennessee RiverLine event sponsored by Decatur Morgan County Tourism, Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, and the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge Association.
