Monthly South River Water Testing - October
2025-10-19 10:00 - 11:00 | Everett Park, 5106 Klondike Rd, Lithonia, GA, 30038
Date: Sunday, October 19, 2025
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….
This past year 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.

Join Science for Georgia and the Center for Sustainable Communities for an adventure into Brazil’s Pantanal Wetland, where communities are working together to protect jaguars, fight wildfires, and tackle the impacts of climate change. This 6 time award winning powerful film shows how local action connects to global challenges—and reminds us that civic engagement is about more than voting or volunteering; it’s about protecting our shared future. Come see how saving jaguars is also saving ourselves, and leave inspired with ways you can take action.
A panel of experts will discuss the themes of the film and ways you and your communities can take action.
Popcorn and light snacks will be provided.

Dr. Susan Perz bio:
Dr. Susan Perz is the director and cinematographer. She is a journalist, independent filmmaker, and educator. Susan travelled to the remote Pantanal Wetland of Brazil in 2022 to interview local people who fought fires and film jaguars on the rivers with zoologist Abbie Martin. Susan lives in Georgia.

Survival and sustainability go hand in hand. Not everyone can ride a bike everywhere and gas is getting more expensive and shortages are always possible. But Mopeds (really motor scooters) get around 100 miles per gallon! You can get a moped for cheap and getting a moped is a great way to learn about engines and gain useful knowledge for things like generators and lawnmowers and tractors and motorcycles and other alternative vehicles. And you can get a moped cheap. I recently got 3 mopeds for $200 and I’m going to bring you all along with the process of inspecting them, diagnosing problems, and diving in to fix them! Come on by its gonna be fun!
Please wear warm clothes, we will be outside with the mopeds quite a bit.

About the event

With the recent soil testing at Unearthing Farm and market, which has revealed elevated lead levels prompting them to pause many activities and programs at the farm.
This setback is significant, but their mission to create healthy, inclusive food access for Atlanta remains unwavering. To continue their work in community building and food distribution, they had to explore potential remediation strategies.
One of those strategies is that Unearthing Farm is working towards total soil restoration, requiring an excavation of the land. They are in the process of planning a two day event to salvage plants and trees that are essential to the farm’s mission.
Together they aim to cultivate a vibrate community green space through a hyper local farm and market.

What will volunteers do?

Volunteers will support the farm by supporting the salvaging of trees and plants before the excavation of the land begins.
Unearthing Farm needs support with pruning, trimming and repotting plants into their temporary home. A workshop will happen before the repotting begins to show volunteers the most supportive way to transition the plants and trees.

What will volunteers need to bring or wear?

Please wear long sleeve, pants and close toed shoes. PPE (masks, booties and gloves) will be provided to everyone during this event and we asks that all volunteers utilizes what’s provided.

Did you know that there is a proposed expansion of a gas pipeline that runs throughout the south, and runs through Georgia from Columbus to Augusta?
While this isn’t a “new” pipeline, expansion means tearing up neighboring land with construction equipment, larger and/or new compressor stations, and overall community disruptions. This will have impacts on the health and safety of those near the pipeline, and most-likely raise the energy bills of customers across the state of Georgia.
So yes – this is related to your power bills and to data centers.
Science for Georgia and partners have been working together to map the impact of the proposed expansion. Come learn more about what’s in the path of the pipeline, what it means for you, and how you can use our interactive map to learn more.
