Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful (KTNRB) will hosting the 4 th annual ‘Tennessee River Grand Slam Cleanup Series. KTNRB’s boats will be cleaning in all four states touched by the Tennessee River at the first two consecutive days of the series.
The river cleanup campaign is sponsored by AFTCO (The American Fishing Tackle Company), an outdoor apparel and fishing tackle company that has both sponsored the series and equipped the KTNRB staff with seasonal fishing apparel to stay clean, dry, and comfortable at cleanups through any weather.
Here’s the schedule for the remaining cleanups:
- Saturday, April 1 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. | Bean Station, TN | Cherokee Lake
- Sunday, April 1 1:30 p.m. – 5 p.m. | Jasper, TN | Nickajack Lake
With 55,000 lbs. of trash removed so far in 2023, KTNRB is on track for its third year in surpassing 100,000 lbs. of trash removed in one year. Just last month, the organization hit the milestone of more than 500,000 lbs. removed since introducing their first boat to the water in 2019. Last year, KTNRB expanded its fleet by adding a second 26-foot boat.
