The Great Tennessee River Rescue

Sign up to pick up trash from your nearest creek, stream, river or lake. Invite your friends to participate in this statewide event hosted by Tennessee Environmental Council, Cumberland River Compact and TennesseeRiverRescue.org. Clean up our rivers & streams, and improve water quality downstream from the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
