SEVIERVILLE
Sections of the Sevierville greenway and the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River got some attention Wednesday as Tennessee Legend Distillery helped organize a cleanup event with Keep Sevier Beautiful.
âWe were able to get five to six bags of trash picked up on about a mile of the Little Pigeon here today,â said manager Brian Lowe from the distilleryâs Sevierville location.
They were joined by some volunteers from Best Read Guide and Keep Sevier Beautiful, he said.
Keep Sevier Beautiful Director Lisa Bryant said they are always glad to hear from organizations that want to pitch in and set up their own clean-up events.

GATLINBURG â Great Smoky Mountains National Park Rangers and the Gatlinburg Police Department partnered for a targeted enforcement event on the northbound Spur on Sunday, March 28, and Monday, March 29.
The coordinated targeted enforcement was implemented to ensure that motorists transporting trash, construction debris, or other cargo was properly secured to prevent materials from littering scenic roadways.
âWith increasing visitation trends and more use of park roads for business and recreation, we need everyone to do their part to keep our roads litter free,â said Superintendent Cassius Cash. âTo protect our scenic values and wildlife, it is vital that we prevent trash from ever being discarded in a National Park.â
