Join United by Blue, Cahaba River Society, and Alabama Outdoors for their first ever joint waterway cleanup of Shades Creek in Birmingham, AL! This cleanup is one of 20 that United by Blue is co-hosting nationwide this summer, from June-August, to establish community partnerships between their specialty retailers, conservation or municipal partners, and volunteers.

Running all the way through Birmingham, Shades Creek is a historical part of the development of the city. Used by anglers, bird-watchers, trail runners, and more, Shades Creek provides beautiful recreation areas for the whole city. Help us keep the banks of the creek clean for wildlife and recreationists alike by joining us on this stop of the Bluemovement Road Trip!

Please wear sturdy shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty or wet. Long sleeves are recommended for bug protection. United By Blue will provide all other cleanup supplies, snacks, and drinking water. Please use the GPS coordinates provided for the most accurate directions to the cleanup location.
