Things to do in Warner Robins GA: Help with the Rivers Alive Clean-Up Program

If you are from this area or have lived here for any length of time you must be thinking I’ve lost my mind…we don’t have a river here in Warner Robins! Very true but Bay Gall Creek is here and is where the Warner Robins rainwater and runoff flows to.

As you can imagine, the area can get congested with litter and periodically needs the human touch to clean it up again. So, what are you doing this Saturday?

When: Saturday (Oct 22) from 9:00am-11:am

Where: The Corder Road Wellston Trail sign. Show up or call ahead at (478) 929-7258 for more details.

Wear comfy clothes/shoes and expect to get dirty. Bags to collect the debris will be provided.
