What: The Nashville Clean Water Project at Percy Priest Lake, a free community cleanup benefiting the environment.

When: Twice annually -- Spring and Fall. We offer three-hour (or longer) blocks of service with boats departing to specific lake locations every 1/2 hour. Click the "register" button to, uh... register.

Who: You, your friends, your church groups, your neighborhood association, your colleagues, your family -- you get the point. Percy Priest Lake really needs our help so we'll put you to work, as long as you're age 16 years and up!

How Much: Absolutely free, and you'll even receive a few thank you gifts, too.

Free Stuff: Trash bags, gloves, sunscreen, snacks, hand sanitizer, T-shirts, hats, new friends, a great afternoon, and good karma for helping Mother Nature.
