Keep America Beautiful affiliate Keep Knoxville Beautiful (KKB) and the Tennessee Clean Water Network (TCWN), with a grant from the Aslan Foundation, are working in tandem to clean up Goose Creek, an impaired urban creek in and around Mary Vestal Park in South Knoxville.
TCWN’s part of the project focuses primarily on educating citizens who live near the creek, while KKB is doing the hands-on work of organizing multiple cleanups this year.
