Keep Knoxville Beautiful will be hosting our fifth annual Third Creek Clean Paddle on May 10 from 10am-12pm at UT Gardens. We will be removing litter and invasive species from the area around Third Creek, both on land and in the water.

We will have kayaks and paddleboards thanks to the Knoxville Adventure Collective! 
Volunteers are welcome to bring their own kayaks. Life vests are required.

We will also be partnering with Ijams Nature Center for an invasive species removal. 

Keep Knoxville Beautiful will provide the following equipment:

• Litter pickers

• Gloves

• Trash bags

• Safety vests

• Waders (if water levels allow)

• Nets

We highly recommend wearing long pants and all volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes for the event.  Please bring your own sunscreen, bug protection, and water.

Please contact KKB at amanda@keepknoxvillebeautiful.org or (865) 521-6957 with any questions you may have.

Thank you to our sponsors TVA, Knoxville Adventure Collective, and Keep Tennessee Beautiful, Nobody Trashes Tennessee, City of Knoxville, and Knox County.
