Thousands of dollars raised to protect Dog River during Mudbottom Revival Music Festival
“Keep the river clean,” said Linda Stefan.
The Mudbottom Revival Music Festival was hosted by Dog River Clearwater Revival, the only organization dedicated solely to the wellbeing of one of the largest urban watersheds in the entire state.
“So to have these people come out and to support this cause is the way we’re able to do what we were charged to do and our mission is for improved water quality of, and for access to, mobile’s urban waters,” said Debi Foster, executive director of Dog River Clearwater Revival.
The city of Mobile is teaming up with Alabama People Against a Littered State (ALPALS) to support the “Don’t Drop it on Alabama” Spring Cleanup this April and May.
The first organized community cleanup will be hosted by Dog River Clearwater Revival and will focus on the areas around Baumhauer-Randle Park on 1909 Duval Street in Mobile. The cleanup and collection of litter will take place on April 17, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Cleanup supplies such as litter grabbers, bags, gloves and safety vests will be provided by the City of Mobile.
Dog River Clearwater Revival is a 26-year-old nonprofit organization based in Mobile. Their watershed covers 95 square miles with Mobile, making it the largest in the city and one of the largest in the state.
