Sweep The Hooch Is Back for 2021!!!
Covid put a crimp in our plans to participate last year with the multiple date and location changes. But it is a new year!!! The best place to social distance is outside and we get to give back while we do it! So once again the Atlanta Parrot Head Club will join hundreds of other volunteers across Atlanta and north Georgia to care for one of our most important natural resources, the Chattahoochee River. In the past we have picked up trash and helped build and repair biking and walking paths in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
They have released the list of sites for Sweep The Hooch. We will be going back to Cochran Shoals/Columns Drive. It is centrally located and easy to get to from most places in Atlanta. Once registration opens, please register quickly as there is limited space. Make sure you enter Atlanta Parrot Head Club in the Team Name. (see Note below).
Registration will open on February 14, 2021!
After the clean up we will meet up for a little social distancing, sustenance and libations. More details to follow. Directions to the site for the day of the clean up will be sent to you by CRK.
Note: If you want to volunteer at another location that is awesome, just remember to add the "Atlanta Parrot Head Club" when registering so we can keep a record of who volunteers.
About Sweep the Hooch:
Sweep the Hooch is a community, annual day of service to the Chattahoochee River – join us in giving back to the mighty river that gives us so much. Volunteers are invited to go by foot, in waders, or kayak/canoe to remove trash throughout the watershed. CRK provides gloves, trash bags, trash removal and recycling, restroom facilities, and team lead support.
Started in 2011, Sweep the Hooch has since mobilized more than 3,500 volunteers to remove more than 57 TONS of trash from the Chattahoochee and its tributaries.

We look forward to seeing you there! If you are still not a registered APHC member you can still join us. If you have friends that would like to participate, please encourage them to register. Once they see how much fun we have giving back they will want to join the Atlanta Parrot Head Club.
