The Tennessee RiverLine, America’s next great regional trail system, marks a milestone on May 1, 2021, with a river stewardship event hosted by Clifton, Tenn., and supported by multiple partner organizations. This event is the first official public event to be hosted by a river community that is participating in the Tennessee RiverLine’s Tennessee RiverTowns Program.

The public is invited to participate in Clifton’s Tennessee River cleanup and celebration, beginning at the Clifton City Marina at 10 a.m. To participate, individuals are asked to register.

Throughout the day, Clifton residents, volunteers and community leaders will remove trash from multiple locations in the Clifton and Wayne County area with support from team members of Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful (KTNRB), the Wayne County Beautification Project, and the Tennessee RiverLine. Some participants will clean from the shoreline, while others will remove trash from the river in KTNRB’s 25-foot work boat and other personal watercraft
