Tennessee's
South Cumberland
and Responsible Stewardship
🌲 We're thrilled to announce a new partnership that's all about preserving the natural beauty of our public lands and communities here in Tennessee's South Cumberland!
“We are now a proud Partner of Responsible Stewardship LLC. They are an all-volunteer-operated, action-based 501(c)3 environmental nonprofit based here in Tennessee. Together we are joining them in their mission to remove litter and trash from our outdoor spaces and doing our part to help make them more inviting to everyone. By helping to restore and preserve these outdoor spaces, we are ensuring these spaces will be a better place to recreate for generations to come.”
This partnership will unite our community members and visitors with scheduled cleanups within Tennessee State Parks, The Mountain Goat Trail, Coalmont OHV Park, and other public spaces in our area as well as in the communities. We will work together to ensure our lands are more inviting for our guests and more enjoyable for our locals.
Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on scheduled cleanups that will be taking place very soon!
Thank you for your support, and let's make Tennessee's South Cumberland even more amazing while protecting its natural beauty for generations to come!
