Future river keepers in the making! 💪🌍

We had the best time at Clarkdale Elementary’s STEAM Night last week! The students learned all about protecting our watersheds and tracked exactly how pollution slides from our streets into our streams. 🌱✨

The absolute highlight was watching these bright minds tap into their inner science detectives to study our river-dwelling macroinvertebrates! 🐛🔎 Needless to say, they totally crushed it.

The future of our rivers is looking incredibly bright. We are so proud of these awesome young scientists and can’t wait to see them rocking it at a river cleanup soon! 🎒🌿

We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Rivers Alive theme, the Legacy of Georgia’s Waterways - Protecting our roots, cleaning our routes: preserving the antiquity of Georgia waters 🦋🎉

This year, we look back to move forward. Our theme honors the profound history of Georgia waters and the Indigenous Peoples who have lived on and served these lands for thousands of years. Their stewardship represents the heart of the Rivers Alive mission, to provide clean water for generations of Georgians to come.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to the Tribes who first cultivated these lands and established a standard of environmental harmony. We also thank the incredible volunteers who carry this torch today, transforming history into a living legacy of conservation.

Join us this year as we look to the past to protect our future! 🌱✨🌍
