Event details

Rock Island State Park needs your help! Join us as we clean
up the Caney Fork River. Tasks will include cleaning up litter along the Caney
Fork River Gorge between Twin Falls and Great Falls. This area is fairly strenuous,
rocky, and wet so please plan accordingly.
If you need to complete community service or volunteer
service hours to fulfill a requirement for scholarships, graduation,
fraternity/sorority obligations, etc., this is a great opportunity to get those
hours. Volunteers should plan on meeting Rangers at the Downstream Trail
Parking Area at the end of Powerhouse Road at 10:00am. Volunteers will be briefed
and given trash bags, trash grabbers, and gloves.
Please bring water and snacks if you would like and wear
appropriate footwear/attire for the weather.
We honor all TN promise hours. 
If you have any questions about this volunteer workday,
please feel free to reach out via email (josh.1.welch@tn.gov) or phone (931-913-6497).
In case of inclement weather, volunteers will be contacted,
and the event will be canceled. Please provide a good phone number and email address
when registering.
