OUR NEXT COMMUNITY PROJECT IS MAY 5, 2012!
THIS IS THE LARGEST WATER CLEANUP IN NASHVILLE HISTORY. AND IT’S TIME TO GET ON BOARD!
We have several volunteer times available from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. so keep steering your friends, neighbors and employers here and join our next free event. Just hit “Register” to choose your own time on Saturday, May 5, 2012.
Thanks to help like yours (and some awesome corporate partners!), the Nashville Clean Water Project has contributed more than $400,000 in service value represented by tens of thousands of volunteer hours throughout the Nashville area since 2008. If you’ve participated in one of our previous projects, thank you!!
Our Fall 2011 event attracted 268 volunteers who amassed 1,435 volunteer hours and a work crew value of more than $30,000. Volunteers removed 81 tires and 1,250 trash bags totaling 104 cubic yards of waste and weighing an estimated 33,800 pounds. The project scrubbed 120 acres overall, focusing attention on the unnatural impact of lake visitors and increasing storm water debris from surrounding communities.
MAY 5th EVENT-DAY CHECK IN AT:
J. Percy Priest’s A.C.E. workshop compound
3701 Bell Road, Nashville, 37214
(100 yards from the corner of Stewarts Ferry and Bell roads)
10-15 minutes before your selected time.

Each Nashville Clean Water Project event has been a tremendous success with more garbage reclaimed and more friendships made than we ever knew was possible when we began. Time and time again, you prove you’re a unique breed. Amidst record rains on the eve of Nashville’s historic floods, more than 100 service and eco-crazies came to our our May event before we eventually had to cancel. Thanks to the generosity and persistence of NCWP volunteers, we’ve donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in labor, organization and educational services in just under three years. Together, we are improving the water quality in and around Middle Tennessee by putting a permanent dent in the blight – together.
Please help us keep the campaign against trash at Percy Priest a public conversation and get (en)volved!
The NCWP is one of the largest National Public Lands Day events in the country.
100% volunteer based. If you’d like to contribute a tax-free donation of any size (even $10), please click here. Be sure to type “100% intended for Nashville Clean Water Project” in the “Dedication” blank so the Tennessee Environmental Council will pass your donation straight through to us. Thanks for your support; please tell others about our cause.
