Creek Walk - Lionel Hampton-Beecher
About this Event
Join the West Atlanta Watershed Alliance as we highlight the neighborhood greenspace, Lionel Hampton-Beecher Hills Park. The first Saturday in October join us for a hike experience and a special walk in tributaries of Utoy Creek. Learn about the history of Utoy Creek and the Park!
During the creek walk we will explore nature from a different perspective by seeing how water moves through urban landscapes and its impact on our local creeks. There will also be an opportunity to see/learn how to test the water quality at the site.
****AFTER SIGNING UP****
Expect an email reiterating supplies needed, detailing the walking route/parking, and asking for a response to questions about wader sizing and a signed waiver as confirmation of you attending the event. The email will have a provided deadline to reply before your ticket will be returned!
We will be walking on trails, through trees, and in the creek, so please pack as little as possible to avoid losing belongings. To ensure safety water levels and quality will be monitored leading up to the event. This is an urban stream, so if trash is present, we will have materials to help clean up the creek along the way.
