  Founders Day in the Park with Sean Walsh-Haehle
  Sunday Afternoon, Aug 23
  CPC Members Only - Registration Opens in July!

  Happy Founders Day! Take a guided walk with a Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) ranger and celebrate the 104th birthday of the National Park Service (NPS). Along the way, we will discuss how and why the National Park Service was founded by President Wilson, evolution of NPS, and what makes the Chattahoochee River corridor special. We'll finish our time with King of Pops ice pops after the hike. Moderate 2.5 mile hike. Ages 10 and up. No dogs, please. Limit: 20.

  Guide: Sean Walsh-Haehle, Interpretive Ranger at CRNRA has served at an amazing and diverse group of National Parks: The Blue Ridge Parkway, Capitol Reef, Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site, Grand Teton. Before Sean joined CRNRA in May 2019, he served at the National Mall and Memorial Parks working at Ford's Theatre and Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument.

  Chattahoochee Parks Conservancy is proud to be a SPONSOR of Sweep the Hooch – to be held August 29, 9am to 12pm! Our location is the Whitewater unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.

  Back for the 10th year, Sweep the Hooch is an annual day of service to the Chattahoochee River watershed, mobilizing volunteers on foot, in waders, or kayak/canoe paddlers to remove trash at locations throughout the watershed. Sweep the Hooch brings people together to give back to the mighty river that gives us so much. Last year, with the help of over 1100 volunteers, 32 TONS of trash was removed from our watershed. Don’t miss out on this great service day!
