Earlier this month, we took to the Chattahoochee River for the 2026 Westside Chattahoochee Paddle! With participants of all ages joining us on the water, we spent the day exploring, learning, and connecting with the river and the stories that make it such an important part of Atlanta’s Westside. Beyond the paddle, participants had the opportunity to learn about the history of the Chattahoochee Brick Company, the communities that helped shape the Westside, and the ongoing importance of environmental justice, conservation, and equitable access to our waterways. A special thank you to our partners, @nationalwildlife , @johnsonoutdoors , @outdoorfoundation and the Chattahoochee Brick Company Descendants Coalition, for helping make this experience possible! And thank you to everyone who spent their Saturday with us. We appreciate you being part of this experience and helping us continue to build connections between people, place, and the environment.
