We’re so proud to once again partner with Care NET, TVA, and the Hawkins County Industrial Park in the third round of removing hundreds of illegally dumped tires from the shallows of the Holston River. This area is too shallow for our boats, so this will be a cleanup from the banks of the Holston River. Please join to help us make a huge impact on this important ecosystem!
