Who We Are

Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful® is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that serves as the first Keep America Beautiful affiliate in the nation to focus solely on a river. As of October 2025, we have rallied more than 5,000 volunteers to remove over 1 MILLION lbs. of trash from the seven-state Tennessee River watershed! Our mission is to educate and inspire people to take action to create a clean, healthy, beautiful Tennessee River for generations to come.

What We Do

We seek to achieve our mission by hosting river cleanups and other programming not to be custodians of the river, but to show our volunteers the impact litter has on our waterways and what they can do to take action. Our volunteer cleanups are held along the 652-mile Tennessee River and its tributaries. The area spans into the seven states of TN, AL, MS, KY, GA, NC, and VA.
