WWALS and the City of Valdosta are doing a cleanup Saturday at Two Mile Branch; meet at 507 Mack Drive and park on Howell Brook Drive. The city is finally moving a bit on trash traps, but there is much more to do, including having the City Marshalls inform businesses of the city trash ordinances, including potential fines and other penalties.

Radio, Two Mile Branch

We’ll also talk about saving the Okefenokee Swamp from a strip mine, and why
9 Riverkeepers of Georgia
+ 15 Waterkeepers of Florida
= 22 Waterkeepers of Georgia and Florida opposing that mine.

You can still send your comment to GA-EPD via TwinPines.Comment@dnr.ga.gov

Everyone please welcome WWALS Development Director Veronica Oakler of Madison, Florida, who started March 1st.

She is already working with a committee on the WWALS Gala, to be held this September, incorporating the Suwannee Riverkeeper Songwriting Contest.

Before that, come to the BIG Little Paddle Event at Reed Bingham State Park, Saturday, April, 29, 2023, where WWALS charter board member Bret Wagenhorst will lead a nature tour.
