Intrenchment Creek Community Stewardship Council

02/04/2023

Check out this great article about downtown Atlanta's hidden waters!

Proctor, Tanyard, Clear, and Intrenchment creeks all begin downtown and flow out from the city like spokes—west, north, east, and south. The creeks predate the railroads and highways that have nearly buried them, but their exact sources remain a mystery.

While we aren't doing a lot of endorsing just yet, we wanted to remind you that the co-founder of ICCSC is running for City Council! Please help us get more voice on Council for Intrenchment Creek by voting for Jason Dozier on Tuesday if you live in District 4!

‼️‼️ VOTE ‼️‼️

I just voted to slow down cars in our neighborhoods, to keep families in their homes, and to keep our parks and schools safe from gun violence. If you agree that City Hall needs to prioritize our communities, then join me in voting for Jason Dozier for Atlanta City Council District 4.

Take time to learn the history of your watershed and the people who have come before you and you'll be surprised at what you discover.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day to the The Muscogee Creek Nation whose territory included the South River watershed & river valleys across present-day Georgia, Tennessee & Alabama. Accounts indicate that the Muscogee called the South River the "Weelahnee" (spelled phonetically in English). Research continues but the name Weelahnee appears to mean "green waters" or "green river". The prefix “ue” (pronounced wee) means “water”, and the word “Lane” (pronounced lah-nee) often means “green” in reference to water. 💚 With great respect and gratitude SRWA continues to fight to protect the Weelahnee and her emerald waters, now and for generations to come. image credit: Muscogee Creek Nation

We don't know Lily, but we appreciate that she took it upon herself to compile and share information for the benefit of her community. This is what resident based advocacy looks like! Be like Lily! Do something! Make a video, write an email, attend a community meeting, organize a rally, or just talk to your neighbor about issues impacting your community. Whatever part you can play, play it!

And please watch Lily's excellent video to learn more about the proposed plan to build a police training facility at the Prison Farm site and how it will impact residents of Intrenchment Creek.

Incredible things can happen when we dream big and include community and nature in the decision making processes.

(ideas. work) It’s been a tough few years for aspirational city-building. With all the intolerance and polarization in our country, combined with COVID-19, many of us are in survival mode and don’…
