NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Hopefully you got a chance to get outside and enjoy today's warmer weather, and the Cumberland River Compact is hoping they can entice you to do more of that all while making a difference.
The Compact is looking for groups to Adopt-A-Stream and keep our beautiful state clean.
Training, materials, and support are provided, and as Hunter Andrews with CRC told anchor Carrie Sharp, it goes beyond picking up litter.
"It's more than just trash it's also about creating a healthier environment for wildlife along the stream and also learning about how water moves across our urban landscape."
Groups are asked to organize two cleanups a year. The deadline sign up is March 15.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
