Mainspring Conservation Trust seeks volunteers to participate in the annual Little Tennessee River Cleanup starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14.
Volunteers will gather at 544 East Main Street in Franklin in the empty lot across from the Mainspring office. A volunteer informational tent, dumpster and recycling collection will be set up at this location.
Participants can stop by the tent to pick up supplies, grab a map of major litter zones and then head out to their chosen cleanup area. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their boats if they don’t mind collecting trash on the water, or they can assist as shoreside or wading volunteers.
Free pizza will be provided at the info tent at noon.
