Programs
Community Engagement
Community engagement is critical to our mission. By fostering an overall sense of stewardship for our rivers and educating the leaders of tomorrow, we are ensuring multi-generational support for clean water protection!
Community-based learning
Our webinars and workshops are opportunities to learn about the issues impacting our waterways and gain skills to engage our mission to protect clean water and healthy ecosystems for the rivers of Tennessee! All are welcome and encouraged to come. Check out our calendar to stay updated on upcoming offerings.
River RestoratioN
Our River Restoration program invites communities to learn more about how to steward their watershed to protect water quality and wildlife habitat! Restoration work includes river clean ups, invasive plant removal, and native tree planting projects in critically polluted watersheds. Check out our River Restoration page to learn more! Keep an eye on our volunteer page to find opportunities to plug in.
Be River responsible Recreation Program
Our “Be River Responsible” program encourages recreationists and recreation-focused businesses to practice safe and responsible river recreation and mobilizes efforts to clean up trash and litter pollution from Tennessee’s waterways. Since 2017, Harpeth Conservancy and our partners have distributed over 500 biodegradable litter bags and dozens of “Be River Responsible” signs on private property, at local outfitters, and other businesses. Visit our Be River Responsible page to learn more about responsible recreation!
Community outreach
We are always searching for ways to spread awareness to all communities in Middle Tennessee and beyond! We do so by participating in all kinds of tabling events, festivals, expos, etc. Check out our calendar to stay updated on where you can find us!
RESOURCES
Conservation Conversations, our video format outreach series, was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to facilitate on-going engagement during that time. Experts were invited to join Harpeth Conservancy staff to present and inform participants about important topics and to explore how each topic connects to our work to protect clean water and healthy river ecosystems. Visit our YouTube channel to watch recordings of previous discussions or check out our blog to read about past presentations.
