Johns Creek Crawl

Autrey Mill Nature Preserve, The City of Johns Creek, and Fulton County Water Resources Partner Join Autrey Mill Nature Preserve for a City of Johns Creek initiative as they clean up our City’s namesake- the Johns Creek on Saturday, August 24 . Homeowners along the creek are encouraged to venture into their backyards to help with the project. Debris and litter collected may be brought to Autrey Mill Nature Preserve where we will properly dispose of the waste.

Join Autrey Mill and Fulton County Water Resources down at the Old Alabama Johns Creek overpass where we will dip our toes, survey for fish, gather litter, and learn the process for Adopt-A-Stream Bacterial Monitoring. Afterward, the Fulton County Department of Public Works will take participants on a tour of the Tom Lowe Atlanta Fulton Water Treatment Facility. The tour is restricted to the first 20 participants and requires a minimum of 10. Tour participants must be over the age of 7 and wear closed-toe shoes.
