Join us for a morning of hands-on stewardship at Confluence Park!

Together, we'll remove invasive plants, pick up litter, improve visibility along the trails, and help create a healthier, more welcoming park for both people and wildlife. Volunteers will use hand tools to clear vegetation, create mulch to improve park paths and trees, and restore one of the first areas visitors experience when they arrive. Your efforts will make an immediate, visible difference—and many hands make light work, even on a summer day!

Bring a water bottle and wear closed-toed shoes. Long pants and long-sleeve shirts work well in these conditions to protect your skin, but anything you are comfortable in works best. We will provide cold water, snacks, and bug spray.

If you can’t attend for the full length of time, please come to the beginning for orientation and training, then stay as long as you are able. We will also be meeting on Saturday, July 11 and you can sign up for both events using the form below.

Reach out to info@southforkconservancy.org if you have any questions.

Volunteers will be lead by South Fork Conservancy Fellow, Martin Mathys-Thompson Brown, who is a graduate student in Landscape Architecture at the University of Georgia. He joins us for the summer to develop a landscape management plan and environmental stewardship model to lay the groundwork for a Creek Conservation Corps. You can learn more about his design philosophy and work here.
