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.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
