Friends of Big Canoe Creek has "adopted" two stream crossings in the Springville area as part of the Adopt-a-Stream program coordinated by Alabama People Against a Littered State (Alabama PALS). The stream crossings are at Highway 11 northeast of town and at the County Road 9 bridge north of Homestead Hollow.

Official "Adopt-a-Stream" signs were posted at both locations earlier this month. As part of the program, FOBCC is responsible for picking up litter and discarded debris around the roadway and in the stream at the two crossings for the next two years. Alabama PALS will provide trash bags, pick-up tools, and safety vests for volunteers.
