Town Creek Cleanup
Join the Compact as we celebrate the conclusion of Gallatin Water Week with a community cleanup along the idyllic Town Creek Greenway in Gallatin, TN! This is an on-foot cleanup where you’ll walk along Town Creek’s banks and wade in its waters, picking up litter to beautify this community asset and protect wildlife that call the creek home.
Town Creek runs through downtown Gallatin, TN and is a tributary of East Camp Creek, which flows into Old Hickory Lake. It’s a creek that can be prone to flooding and trash accumulation, which is where we come in!
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.
What We Provide:
- Gloves, litter grabbers, trash bags, and all necessary cleanup materials.
- A brief educational talk about water conservation in Middle Tennessee!
