Volunteer to keep the Stones River clean! Join the Cumberland River Compact to pick up litter along the Stones River Greenway in Donelson. Volunteers will work mostly behind Kohl’s off Lebanon Pike and along the Stones River Greenway to collect common litter like bottles, packaging, plastic bags, and other waste. Your efforts will beautify a public area and improve water quality in Nashville by removing trash before it can ever reach the water.
With the dedicated help of volunteers, the Compact removed 855 pounds of trash from this location in November. Let’s keep the impact going!
What to Bring & Wear:
- Clothing and shoes that can get dirty. Long pants and boots are recommended to safely walk through tall brush. While volunteers will not be working in the water, riverside areas can often be muddy depending on recent weather conditions.
- 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.
- A brief educational talk about water conservation in Nashville!
Volunteer Requirements:
- Registration on the Cumberland River Compact website is required to participate. Every volunteer must complete their own registration, and volunteers under 18 must ensure a parent or guardian acknowledges the volunteer agreement below.
