Brown’s Creek Cleanup

Our waterways are like arteries and veins for the earth. They should bring life to everything they touch. But disruptors such as litter and chemical run-off negatively affect aquatic ecosystems and all life that relies on them.

The Land Trust for Tennessee is dedicated to conserving Tennessee’s unique natural and historic landscapes and sites for future generations. We exemplify that mission with our stewardship of The Land Trust for Tennessee’s Glen Leven Farm, a historic 64-acre farm 4 miles south of downtown Nashville. The Land Trust for Tennessee’s Glen Leven Farm features forest, open fields, and the east fork of Brown’s Creek, which runs into the Cumberland River and Cheatham Reservoir, the source of much of Nashville’s water.

Creek Clean-Up tasks will include:

Volunteers should be prepared for tasks in and around water. Wading gear, bug spray, and sunscreen will be provided as needed. Please wear long pants and water-appropriate closed-toe shoes (waterproof work boots are ideal).
