A collective 51 volunteers removed 15,355 pounds of trash from four different rivers throughout the month of February in Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful’s first Cherokee National Forest River Cleanup Series presented by Volkswagen.
For perspective, the total weight of litter removed is equivalent to 21 bull elk, which can reach up to 730 pounds and is the largest animal that can be spotted within the Cherokee National Forest. So, it could be said that the volunteers in this cleanup series removed enough trash from the rivers to be comparable to the weight of a herd of elk.
