Many thanks to our Scenic City community! L2 Outside's June 23rd cleanup event for the downtown river area conjured almost 40 volunteers and several small businesses.
Congregating at 6:30am to plan the day's cleanup, Randy Whorton with Wild Trails helped to assign all volunteers helpful roles and determine which river areas to sweep for different teams. From 7-9am, several trash bins were filled and miscellaneous items unearthed along the riverbanks.
During the clean-up, L2 Outside provided 20 paddle boards and ten kayaks for volunteer use, as well as chicken biscuits from Chick-Fil-A. Generous donations from other businesses included early morning coffee/paddle-fuel from Mean Mug Coffeehouse, and river aids via Wild Trails, Chattanooga Cycleboats and Chattanooga Paddleboards.
