Friends of Shades Creek
2019 Shades Creek Cleanup
The 2019 Shades Creek Cleanup was a huge success with 5 pickup loads of trash removed from Shades Creek, along creek banks, and a Shades Creek tributary. Friends of Shades Creek had sign-in stations at Samford University and Brookwood Village – Thank you to both organizations for helping clean up our community. And thank you to 140 volunteers that came out to help. More details and photos. . . .

Books are still available
It took over three years to write a book about Shades Creek. Accompanying the book’s words on 216 pages are 365 photographs, maps and drawings to layer the narrative with visuals–from aaaah to informative. The Birmingham Historical Society consider this one of their most important publications to date, says Marjorie White, Birmingham Historical Society executive director. The book came out in January 2019 and is still available for $30. For book information click here.
