Keep Forsyth County Beautiful (KFCB) will host workshops for citizens to learn about the county’s Adopt-A-Stream program. The Adopt-A-Stream program informs citizens about local water quality and ways to protect the county’s water.
The workshops will be held in pairs. The first workshop is Getting Started and Chemical Assessment, and the second workshop is Biological Assessment. Each workshop will take place three times. Workshop participants do not have to attend consecutive workshop pairings.
The Getting Started and Chemical Assessment workshop will be held July 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the KFCB Office at 875 Lanier 400 Parkway in Suite 114; August 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Sawnee Mountain Preserve Visitor Center at 4075 Spot Road; and October 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Central Park Recreation Center at 2300 Keith Bridge Road.
The Biological Assessment workshop will be held August 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the KFCB Office at 875 Lanier 400 Parkway in Suite 114; September 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Sawnee Mountain Preserve Visitor Center at 4075 Spot Road; and October 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Central Park Recreation Center at 2300 Keith Bridge Road.
“We hope the participants will walk away from the workshops with an understanding of the impact they can have on water quality in our community and the state as a whole,” KFCB Community Outreach Specialist Kevin Smith said. “We want citizens to learn how they can become more involved in protecting our water resources.”
Forsyth County’s Adopt-A-Stream program is part of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division. To register for a pair of the workshops, contact Kevin Smith at 678.513.5892 or kdsmith@forsythco.com.
