After two years of planning and assessment (2017/2018), we dramatically expanded our impact with the start of the Tennessee Rivers Cleanup Campaign in 2019. We began cleanup on the Clinch River, working closely with many federal, state, and local agencies and organizations to ensure that we were not disturbing the threatened and endangered species therein. From our two years of assessment, we know that there are roughly 10,000 tires and countless other waste in its bed and banks. As of 2021, we have cleaned 326 river miles, removed and delivered over 4,000 tires to recycling centers, and cleared more than 100,000 lbs. of trash and debris from one of the most ecologically diverse rivers in the nation.
