Advocacy can take a number of forms. Our work on permitting is one of the things we are most involved in. Our work to reduce nutrient pollution on the Harpeth – and statewide — is one of our most important projects.

We have been actively working collaboratively with many organizations to protect clean and adequate supplies of drinking water.
We are and have been involved for years in attempting to create recreational experiences that don’t overcrowd or overtax our treasured natural areas. Our work on the Harpeth Blueway, for example, led to a statewide permit on stream access points.
And, of course, we encourage everyone to know where their federal, state, and local representatives stand on conservation issues and to let those representative know your views.
