Since Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful launched its Adopt a River Mile program in 2018, the aim has been to promote stewardship of local waterways by achieving at least 15 river miles adopted by local individuals or groups each year. Thanks to rallying efforts by local citizens, that goal has more than doubled within the first two months of 2021.

TENNESSEE, USA Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful partnered with Johnsonville State Historic Park in a three-part river cleanup series last weekend at which 25 volunteers helped to remove 9,208lbs. of trash from the Tennessee River.
Volunteers hopped in KTNRB’s 25-foot aluminum workboat launching from Pebble Isle Marina to go clean nearby shorelines at cleanups over the course of three days.
