(FULL) Mansker Creek Cleanup
Join the Compact in Goodlettsville for a cleanup of Mansker Creek at North Creek Park! Mansker Creek is a haven for fish, salamanders, birds, and other wildlife, as well as a direct tributary of the Cumberland River. It flows alongside many suburban neighborhoods and shopping centers before reaching North Creek Park, collecting litter along the way. At this cleanup, you’ll team up with other volunteers to care for this important waterway!
Fun fact: the Compact restored a badly eroded segment of Mansker Creek near Moss Wright Park a few years ago! Your participation in this cleanup is part of a larger effort to preserve the health of the creek for future generations.
What to Bring & Wear:
- Clothing and shoes that can get wet and dirty. Long pants and boots are recommended. You will get wet, so dress prepared!
- A hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.
- Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and snacks if needed.
