Monthly South River Water Testing
2026-07-19 10:00 - 11:00, 2026-08-16 10:00 - 11:00, 2026-09-20 10:00 - 11:00, 2026-10-18 10:00 - 11:00, 2026-11-15 10:00 - 11:00, 2026-12-20 10:00 - 11:00 | Everett Park, 5106 Klondike Rd, Lithonia, GA, 30038
Third Sunday of every month
Time: 10 am
Location: Everett Park
Address: 5106 Klondike Rd, Stonecrest, GA 30038
We will linger in the parking lot for 5-10 minutes before heading down the trail along the water to those first shoals, where we will be doing our testing and mingling etc….
At our Environmental Justice Forums/Townhalls we heard that people want to know more about what health risks from water and air are in their neighborhoods. So we have started on two approaches to that. First is the water testing project mentioned above. Adopt-A-Stream is a state program consisting of volunteers collecting data on the water sources in their neighborhoods and the area around Everett Park along the South River is not represented in this testing project. So we are getting this started, not just to gather and monitor data, but to help the community learn about water testing along the way.

Location: Mutation Brewing Company, 5825 Roswell Rd NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30328, in their Speakeasy.
Featured Speaker: Mark Albertin
From birth, we are given rules on how to live in a civilized world. We learn to read, write and speak a language. And most all of us go through an entire life never really hearing the natural world around us. Never really understanding. Never really caring to listen.
Yet, more and more studies are confirming that nature is talking…we just aren’t listening or understanding.
It took me most of my life to understand. It took countless photography trips deep into the Okefenokee Swamp and other wild places, alone. It took slowing down and listening. And what I came away with is beyond anything I could have imagined.
Mark will discuss making the film “Sacred Waters” and his solo trips over night capturing the beauty and life of the swamp.
He will be showing some of his one-of-a-kind images of the nature we are sometimes too busy to experience.

Continuing on the great tradition of Atlanta Science Tavern and Science Tales & Trails – GSJ events are interactive events that share science information, facilitate discussion, and help us all work together to enable science to serve all of Georgia.
Join Mark Albertin as we learn the lessons from filming in the Okefenokee Swamp.
Speaker Name: Mark Albertin, Owner of Scrapbook Video Productions, and Albertin Film Photography.

Speaker Bio: Mark Albertin is a documentary filmmaker and photographer. Mark was the creator of the film: Sacred Waters – The Okefenokee in Peril, and just recently produced a hardcover book on the Okefenokee that stresses its protection, but also our natural environment.

Parking
Parking for this event and Wild Heaven West End is free and ample.
A quick heads up about a change happening at Lee + White, where Wild Heaven West End is located. The property management company is shifting from complimentary parking to a paid system.
For this event, you will not have to pay for parking. However, you need to engage with the new system upon arrival by starting a “parking session” at the posted signs (via the app or QR code). Wild Heaven will provide a validation code for free parking for all attendees. You will still need to register your cars in the system before validating your parking with Wild Heaven once the system is fully in place.
Looking ahead, please know that under Wild Heaven’s lease terms, neither their guests nor our event attendees will ever be charged for parking.
If you have any trouble, please see us at the check in table in the Garden Room.
