Town Creek Tributary Cleanup

Join the Cumberland River Compact and the City of Gallatin for a litter cleanup along a tributary of Town Creek in Gallatin! Town Creek runs through the heart of Gallatin and tends to accumulate trash and debris, which can move downstream and ultimately end up in the Cumberland River. By collecting that trash where its journey begins, we can improve water quality in Town Creek and beyond. Your participation in this cleanup is part of a larger effort to preserve the health and beauty of Gallatin’s waterways for future generations.
Meetup and Parking: We’ll meet outside of the Gallatin Civic Center; scroll to the bottom of the page for the event address. Parking is available at the Gallatin Civic Center or nearby Municipal Park.
What to Bring & Wear:
- Clothing and shoes that can get wet and dirty. Long pants and sneakers or boots are recommended. If you have waders, bring them!
- A hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.
- A filled reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
What We Provide:
- Gloves, litter grabbers, trash bags, and all necessary cleanup materials.
