Pictures: Berrien Beach Cleanup, Alapaha River 2022-09-24

We got quite a bit of trash on a fun morning at Berrien Beach Boat Ramp in Berrien County and across the Alapaha River at Berrien Beach in Lanier County, in the September 24, 2022, River Alive cleanup.

The most unusual item was cash. Most of the rest was water, beer bottles, and plastic bags. And the usual used diapers. Plus a bumper.

We did give out 2022 Rivers Alive t-shirts. You can get one, too, at upcoming cleanups this fall.

Also, what does it take to get people from Berrien County and Lanier County to show up? These are popular locations on the Alapaha River Water Trail, as evidenced by all the trash. Maybe some people nearby could come help clean up.
