We've had such an exciting year as an organization! With help from other local organizations, we've helped clean up over 60 bags of trash, 20 car tires and one bike tire from our watershed and help remove several pounds of invasive plant material from the stream banks of the Little River at the Townsend Riverwalk and Arboretum.
We also continued our educational programs by having several Stream School for kids programs, which allowed several dozens of kids to have a STEM based experience on and in the Little River while learning about what a watershed actually is.
Finally, in collaboration with Keep Blount Beautiful, we put on an inaugural community event and fundraiser, the Little River Run 5K, which was a huge success, and a fun event for both our organizations to put on. We are beyond grateful for the community support and especially thankful to all of our sponsors that helped allow us to put on the event
