We’re kicking off ‘Keep the Tennessee River Watershed Beautiful Month in a big way! Not only is October a month dedicated to celebrating protecting our watershed, but it’s also the 10-year anniversary of the 2015 Tennessee River Tour that led to our nonprofit forming! Plus, we’ll be surpassing the milestone of 1 million lbs. of trash removed from the Tennessee River watershed since we put our first boat in the water in 2019.REGISTER TO JOIN OUR BOAT AT https://www.keeptnriverbeautiful.org/knoxville
Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon will help us to kickoff the celebrations with a press conference held on Volunteer Landing at 3 p.m. Once the announcement is over, our partners and volunteers will disperse to clean several points of Fort Loudoun Lake of the Tennessee River. More information to come. We hope you’ll join for this exciting and momentous celebration of a big point in our organization’s history, in so many ways!
