Milton's "Rivers Alive" waterways cleanup, education and protection program is Saturday at Bailey Farm & Gardens, 255 Hickory Flat Road, one mile west of the Birmingham Crossroads.

Volunteers are asked to gather at 9 a.m. when they will be assigned to local waterways in the Coosa River watershed to remove debris. Waders and boots could come in handy. Younger participants will apply storm drain markers in a local neighborhood.

Registration and information: mgg@cityofmiltonga.us, baileyfarmandgardens@mindspring.com or 678-242-2509.
