A little over a week ago, more than 30 volunteers gathered to clean up a popular, but hidden, area of the Tallapoosa River.

Three of the about 30 volunteers who volunteered to clean around the Jaybird Landing area of the Tallapoosa River.

As part of Lake Martin Resource Association’s annual lake cleanup, a crew of volunteers headed out to a stretch of the Tallapoosa River between Horseshoe Bend National Military Park and Jaybird Landing, according to LMRA board member Jerry Bynum.
