After taking a brief break, volunteers are gearing up for the fall schedule of Renew Our Rivers (ROR) cleanups, beginning in urban Jefferson County on Saturday, Aug. 12.

People from across the Birmingham area, and beyond, are encouraged to take part in the annual summertime cleanup along Valley Creek, which flows from downtown Birmingham for more than 40 miles before joining the Black Warrior River. Last March, the annual springtime Valley Creek cleanup kicked off the 2023 schedule of community ROR events.

Multiple partners are involved in helping remove trash from Valley Creek, which supports numerous plant and animal species but also faces environmental challenges because of its location in Alabama’s largest metropolitan area.
