Riverkeeper (CRK) hosted the activity and guided employees as they waded in 

Rottenwood Creek, hiked nearby trails and collected trash on the Chattahoochee River via boat. 

“We have a long relationship with Colonial Pipeline,” said 

Becca Klein, development director of CRK. ​“They have been with us almost since the beginning as supporters. Thank you for your help, and thank you for all the support, transparency and communications as a partner to protect the Chattahoochee Watershed.” 

Colonial Pipeline partners with conservation groups active on its ROW in every state it operates in.
