Follow on Google News | Great Gwinnett Wetlands Returns November 7Eco-Focused Nonprofit and Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources to Host First Cleanup Event of 2020 Following COVID-19 Rescheduling, Volunteers Being Sought
By: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful "The GC&B team and our friends at DWR are thrilled to be able to finally host this event," said Schelly Marlatt, Executive Director of Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. "Great Gwinnett Wetlands is designed to grow awareness and promote the ongoing stewardship of Gwinnett's wetlands and water resources. While a lot has changed in the world this year, the one thing that hasn't is pollution. Wetlands serve as filters for streams, rivers and lakes, as well as habitats for local wildlife, so it's vital that we protect them. Fortunately, our cleanup events are typically socially distanced naturally as everyone goes about the work of collecting litter, removing invasive plants and testing the water. All volunteers will be supplied with masks and gloves, and we've got our fingers crossed for good weather. There's no reason why we can't all have a good time in the Great Outdoors while doing good work on behalf of our community and environment." Volunteers are asked to arrive BEFORE 9 a.m. Specific meetup locations will be communicated to individual volunteers after they register. Closed toed shoes, clothes that they don't mind getting dirty, a bottle of water and a snack to enjoy during breaks are highly recommended.
