What Are We Doing?
Tennessee Environmental Council has a rich legacy cleaning up Grassy Branch Creek and the Duck River Watershed. Our goal in is to plant trees, build rain gardens, and install green infrastructure along over 1,000 linear feet of Grassy Branch Creek, part of the Duck River Watershed.
Why Is This Important?
Volunteers and donations are essential to the project's success. Like the rivers in a watershed, we are all connected. With your help, we can have a thriving creek filled with healthy fish and aquatic wildlife that provides clean drinking water for our communities. Planting native plants, establishing a rain garden, or even just using a rain barrel can make your backyard watershed friendly
Current restoration projects are located in Spring Hill, TN near the Peter Jenkins Walking Trail in the Wyngate Estates Subdivision. For more information contact Jordan Young at [email protected].

Why Is This Important?
- The Duck River is regarded as the most biologically diverse freshwater river in the entirety of North America.
- There are more fish species in the Duck River than the whole continent of Europe.
- The Duck River also provides drinking water for more than 250,000 Tennesseans.
- The health of the Duck River is threatened by rapid development across its watershed.
- By restoring Rutherford Creek we can make sure that the Duck River remains a clean and healthy water source for wildlife and humans alike.
