The 35th Annual Tennessee River Rescue took place on October 7th this year with a turnout of over 1,000 volunteers across six counties in three states all in the Tennessee River Watershed. Volunteers took to the shorelines and waters of the Tennessee River and its tributaries and removed over 10 tons of trash, 130 tires, and ~800 lbs. of bulk items (furniture, appliances, etc.). In addition to this amazing effort, we figure through our outreach and media coverage that over 40,000 people were made aware of the state of our watershed’s litter issues, which is a step in the right direction towards caring for our waters.
