Join us and Keep Blount Beautiful for the Alcoa sites for the 35h Annual Ijams River Rescue cleanup! The 35th Ijams River Rescue is March 9, 2024 (severe weather rain date is March 16)! This event is a great way to safely get out, get active, and clean up the Tennessee River and its creeks and streams to make the Greater Knoxville Area an even better place to live, work, and play!
This event brings together hundreds of volunteers to remove between 10-40 tons of trash from the Tennessee River’s shorelines and its tributary creeks. In 2023, about 700 volunteers removed over 20,000 pounds of garbage from 40 sites!
Everyone who volunteers will receive a t-shirt featuring a wonderful design by Stephen Lyn Bales.
