Saturday, May 3

Volunteer: Nashville Clean Water Project at Percy Priest Lake 8:00 a.m.  –  4:00 p.m.

In what organizers have planned as the largest water cleanup in Nashville history, hundreds of volunteers will converge on Percy Priest Lake on Saturday, May 3 to reclaim a portion of the estimated 200 tons of man-made waste left by lake visitors over the years.

Anyone interested in volunteering are asked to register for free at www.cleanPercyPriest.org. Volunteers can choose a size for their event T-shirt, choose lunch options, and reserve a ticket for the free benefit show Grammy-winning recording artist Kathy Mattea is playing for all participants.

Major partners of the Nashville Clean Water Project include Team Green, Bridgestone Americas, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Cumberland River Compact, thinkMEDIA, Nashville Shores, Elm Hill Marina and Kathy Mattea. Other supporters include Nashville Shores, Elm Hill Marina, Tennessee Scenic Rivers Association, Metro Beautification, Metro Public Works, Metro Water, Artistic Flow, Cool People Care and local marinas.

The Nashville Clean Water Project’s main staging area is Nashville Shores, 4001 Bell Road, Hermitage, TN, 37076.

The effort welcomes volunteers of all ages. Those aged 16 and younger will be stationed in our Bridgestone Family Recycling Center at Nashville Shores to separate plastics, metals, paper and other materials into bins for recycling. Paddlers should also arrive to Nashville Shores’ main entrance with kayaks and canoes, however, volunteer boats should report to the Old Hickory Boat Ramp, at the end of Old Hickory Blvd., ¼ mile east of Nashville Shores.

Registration: For a well organized event, participants are asked to register at www.cleanPercyPriest.org.

Donations: Because NCWP is a volunteer effort, donations of any size are appreciated. Your gifts will help pay costs from this event and seed our continued work. Donations can be sent to Nashville Clean Water Project, c/o the Cumberland River Compact [501(c)(3)], P.O. Box 41721, Nashville, TN 37204.
