  • South Fork Conservancy/Peachtree Creek
    Georgia’s 2017 CLEAN WATER HEROES South Fork Conservancy PEACHTREE CREEK Creek Conservancy Group Connects Neighborhoods, Streams INTRODUCTION: If Peachtree Street is the iconic thoroughfare of Atlanta, the creek that gives the street (and countless others) its name must also be the iconic waterway of the city. But, as is the case with so many of Atlanta’s urban streams, Peachtree Creek, once a waterway where people gathered at ferries, farms, mills and baptism pools, was bridged, bulldozed and forgotten, its banks overgrown with kudzu and privet and inaccessible except for the hardiest of explorers. PEACHTREE In stepped a group of citizens that saw the potential for Peachtree Creek to CREEK reconnect communities—from apartment complexes to reclaimed industrial sites—through a trail and parks system that would reunite Atlantans with this historic creek. Since 2008, the South Fork Conservancy (SFC) has established some five miles of creekside trails and restored dozens of acres of land through the removal of invasive plants and reintroduction of native species. The group even played a role in the remediation of a 12-acre hazardous waste site that now is home to one of SFC’s signature trails. THE WATER BODY: Peachtree Creek, formed by its north and south forks which join in the shadows of I-85 near Piedmont Road, is Atlanta’s iconic creek. It was at one time the source of many Atlantans’ drinking water, powered their grist mills and provided them with a livelihood. Along its banks in 1864, more than 4,000 soldiers died in the Battle of Peachtree Creek during the Civil War.
