Citizen Action Guide

You Can Protect Your Waterways 

How To Be A Watershed Citizen
We created the Citizen Action Guide in order to give Tennesseans the resources and information needed to protect and improve the waterways in their communities. Through the guide you will learn how to assess the health of the waterway and how to protect and restore the waterway. Protection of our rivers, lakes, and streams begin in our backyards, farms and cities.
