2026 Cleanup for the Cranes Tennessee River Shore

  • Decatur Hike-Bike Way Trailhead Pavilion – Point Mallard Park 2901 Point Mallard Dr SE Decatur, AL, 35601 United States (map)

Help us give back to the river that gives so much to our community.

Join us at Point Mallard Park for a Tennessee River shoreline cleanup as we work together to protect and preserve one of Decatur’s most valuable natural resources.

Volunteers will meet at 9:00 AM at the Decatur Hike-Bike Way Trailhead Pavilion, where we’ll gather before spreading out along the shoreline to remove litter and debris from the river’s edge.

While a group of participants launches for a guided kayak paddle, our cleanup volunteers will take the land-based route and work together to make a meaningful impact on the health and beauty of the Tennessee River.

It’s a simple way to spend a morning outdoors, connect with others who care about our environment, and help keep this special place clean for future generations.

🧤 Gloves, bags, and cleanup supplies will be provided
👥 Registration is limited to 50 volunteers

Event begins at 9:00 AM-11:00 AM
📍 Meeting Location: Decatur Hike-Bike Way Trailhead Pavilion – Point Mallard Park

Participants are encouraged to arrive early to complete a brief event waiver so we can begin the cleanup on time.

Whether you're passionate about conservation, love the outdoors, or just want to help make a difference, we’d love to have you join us.

This event is made possible through partnership with:
Decatur Morgan County Tourism, Decatur Parks & Recreation, Point Mallard, Tennessee RiverLine, Yellowhammer Outdoors, Keep Alabama Beautiful, Singing River Trail, Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, and Southern Paddler.
