Seemed like everyone had fun at our Three Cheers for Three Rivers Trivia Night with Tumbling Creek Cider Company! StreamSweepers Alex and Erin talked about this incredible program and how they use canoes to haul the tires, debris, and litter they find in the rivers during their cleanups. They are currently working on the Clinch in Scott County. We appreciate what they do and we are so glad to have them working with the Roundtable.
Many thanks to Tumbling Creek Cider Company for hosting the event! We also want to thank Ann and Dave Ledgerwood for the fabulous music, Ed Davis for coordinating the event and compiling the trivia questions and being a great emcee!! The board members made yummy pasta salads and pies, Thanks to everyone who participated to make this a great event!

Join us at our fundraiser today to meet these hard working folks who navigate our rivers to clean them up for the benefit of all of us.
We want to officially welcome our fabulous StreamSweepers to Upper Tennessee River Roundtable! Alex Ward and Erin Wheeler officially joined our staff a couple months ago, but they started out as volunteers earlier this year to help us plan the re-launch of this incredibly successful program.
StreamSweepers is successful because of their dedication and other Sweepers who also worked hard, to cleaning the Clinch River over the past several years. Removing thousands of tires, large debris, and all sorts of litter. We are so grateful to have been gifted this program after the founder Mike Collins passed suddenly last year.
We are so excited for what we can accomplish in the future with Alex and Erin and with the support of extremely generous funders, who will be recognized soon!
Thank you so much, Alex and Erin, for being so patient until we could hire you, and thank you even more for your incredible commitment to improving the water quality of the rivers in Southwest Virginia!
Even if you can't attend this evening, please share this post with your friends.

About 150-230M birds are predicted to migrate across the U.S. each night this weekend!

Lights at night can be very disorienting to birds during their long fall migration. To help prevent deadly bird collisions, turn off or dim unnecessary lights!
