Little Soddy Creek will receive a much-needed cleanup on Feb. 25 at 11 a.m., organized by local resident Ryan Gardner and hosted by Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful.
The event aims to clear the creek of hundreds of tires and various forms of litter and is being supported by several organizations including Southeastern Regional Association of the National Speleological Society, TN State Parks, Scenic Cities Beautiful, Upper Cumberland Grotto, Clean Trail Project, Tennessee Valley Canoe Club and Nashville Grotto.
"It is our duty to protect our environment and preserve our natural resources," said Mr. Gardner, organizer of the event. "We are thrilled to have the support of these organizations in helping us achieve this goal."
Participants are encouraged to bring drinking water, and sturdy footwear. The event is open to all but participants should be aware that the area is steep and physically demanding. Specific parking instructions for the event can be found on the website https://cbaip.org/little-soddy-creek-cleanup.
Last year, over 200 tires were removed from Little Soddy Creek and this year the organizers aim to remove even more.
