Duck River Watershed: Spring Clean-up

The Duck River Watershed Society is pleased to announce its second Spring Clean-up event slated for Saturday, Marcu 4, 2023. The Society is a non-profit organization that is based in Coffee County, Tennessee. The DRWS is a membership organization that focuses on ensuring that the Duck River watershed continues to benefit those that live, work and recreate in it.

Last year’s event featured 50+ volunteers who picked up over 3,000 pounds of refuse from the waterway.

The Spring Clean-up will take place on Saturday, March 4, 2023 from 12:00-4:00p.m. All participants should meet at the Firelake Public Use and Boat Ramp Area, located on River Forge Road, in Manchester, TN.

This event is in collaboration with the Tennessee Duck River Agency, Coffee County Middle School, Coffee County Rural Solid Waste, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). We are in need of community volunteers/volunteer groups to help us with cleaning up parts of Normandy Lake down to the Winter water drawdown line.
